We are now accepting applications for the Society of the Cincinnati's
2013 library fellowships:

The Society of the Cincinnati offers three research fellowships each
year: the Tyree-Lamb Fellowship and two Massachusetts

Society of the Cincinnati Fellowships. Each fellowship provides $1,000
to support the cost of travel, housing, and per diem

expenses for a scholar wishing to use the Society’s library for a period
of at least five days. The fellowships are open to

graduate students and other scholars who are conducting research that
may benefit from the library’s holdings.

The Society of the Cincinnati library collections include contemporary
books, manuscripts, maps, and works of art on paper

which support the in-depth study of 18th-century naval and military
history and the art of war in the age of the American

Revolution. The library also houses books and archives related to the
formation and history of the Society of the Cincinnati,

as well as materials related to the life of Larz and Isabel Anderson,
whose Gilded Age home now serves as a museum, and the

headquarters of the Society

Past fellows have studied topics ranging from development of the French
construction of the notion of the citoyen armée to the Society of the
Cincinnati's structure as a model for Federalism, as well as in-depth
studies of military strategy and tactics of the period.  For more
information on applying, please see:

Applications are due on November 9, 2012.
