 >collections of books and periodicals. Deep special collections of
 >manuscripts, maps, music, films, recorded sound, prints and
 >photographs are also available.

 >advanced degree within the past seven years in the humanities, social
 >sciences or in a professional field such as architecture or law are

 >academic careers. Applicants may be U.S. citizens or foreign
 >nationals. Upon selection, foreign nationals will be assisted in
 >obtaining the appropriate visa. To meet the minimum eligibility
 >requirements, the degree must be formally awarded by the deadline
 >date.

 >FUNDING
 > Fellowships are tenable for periods from six to eleven months at a
 >stipend of $4,000 per month for residential research at the Library of
 >Congress. The constraints of space and the desirability of
 >accommodating the maximum number of Fellows may lead to an offer of
 >fewer months than originally requested. Fellows may be in residence at
 >any time during the fourteen-month window between June 1 of the year
 >in which the Fellowship is awarded and August 1 of the year following.
 >Stipends will be paid monthly by the Library of Congress, by means of
 >electronic transfer to a U.S. bank account. Up to twelve Kluge
 >Fellowships will be awarded annually by the Library of Congress.
