*Woodward Fellowship Application Deadline: 2 December 2011*

The University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) Institute for Research in the
Humanities and the History of Cartography Project are now accepting
applications for the David Woodward Memorial Fellowship in the History
of Cartography. The annual fellowship, generously sponsored by Art and
Jan Holzheimer, gives scholars an opportunity to further their research
in the history of cartography in a stimulating academic environment and
with access to all campus libraries and facilities. A stipend of $7,000
supports travel and a two-month residency at the university.

For the 2012-2013 fellowship, we are especially interested in receiving
proposals to support a visiting curator who will plan and design a map
exhibition of about forty items to be installed at the UW’s Chazen
Museum of Art. This will provide an excellent opportunity for a scholar
in the arts or museum studies to engage with maps as works of art or for
a map historian to learn the process of exhibition design. Proposals for
general research on subjects related to the history of cartography are
also welcome.
