THE HELEN WALLIS FELLOWSHIP AT THE BRITISH LIBRARY



CLOSING DATE:1 MAY 2005



This annual, named fellowship offers a convenient and unusually
privileged working environment in the British Library.  The Fellow will
be treated like a member of staff (i.e. not restricted to reading room
hours) and provided with their own work-station, with an e-mail account
and access to the Internet.  In addition, they will be entitled to £300
to spend on Library services.



  The award honours the memory of the former Map Librarian at the British
Museum and then British Library, Dr Helen wallis OBE (1967-1986) and
confers recognition by the Library on a scholar, from any field, whose
work will help promote the extended and complementary use of the British
Library's book and cartographic collections in historical investigation.



Preference will be given to proposals that relate to the Library's
collections and have an international dimension.  The fellowship may be
held as a full or part-time appointment, and would normally be for 6-12
months.



For the full terms of reference please contact the undersigned.



It would be most helpful if you told us where you saw this notice.
