>OBJECTIVES:
>  The Harold White Fellowships are named in honour of Sir Harold
>White (1905-1992), the first National Librarian, in recognition of his
>great achievements as a collection-builder. The Harold White
>Fellowships aim to: Promote the Library as a centre of scholarly
>activity and research; Encourage scholarly and literary use of the
>Library's collections and the production of publications based on
>them; and Publicise the Library's collections.
>
>  Each year from four to seven Fellowships are awarded to enable
>established scholars and writers to undertake research in the Library
>for periods of from three to six months. Most Harold White Fellows
>have undertaken research in the humanities and history, especially
>Australian history. However, research projects can be in any
>discipline or area in which the Library has strong collections.
>
>ELIGIBILITY
>  Fellowships are open to Australian citizens (including Canberra
>residents) and the citizens of any other country. Fellowships will
>not, however, be awarded to postgraduate students unless they have
>completed all the requirements of their examiners.
>
>FUNDING
>  Fellows are provided with a return economy airfare to Canberra from
>his/her home and a grant-in-aid towards the Fellow's living expenses
>in Canberra. The Library also awards Honorary Fellowships to scholars
>and writers who, being in full receipt of salaries or funds from other
>sources, do not require financial assistance but who would benefit
>from the other privileges of the Fellowships.
>
>  The principal benefit of Fellowships is to give scholars and
>writers the means and the uninterrupted time to work with the
>Library's huge collections of books, journals, newspapers, maps,
>music, manuscripts, pictures and oral histories. Fellows are provided
>with a furnished office, including a personal computer with Internet
>access. They can have access to the Library outside the opening hours
>of reading rooms and are entitled to access to book stacks, free
>photocopying and interlibrary loans.
>
>  All Harold White fellows will be required to: Take up their
>Fellowships during the calendar year for which the Fellowship is
>awarded; Stay in Canberra and spend at least 75 per cent of their time
>at the Library; Give a public presentation, such as a lecture, and
>communicate the results of their research to staff; and Where
>appropriate, give the Library the first opportunity to publish the
>results of their research.   (ja)
