Best Research Fellowships AGS Library, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Thanks to an NRC grant to UWM's Center for International Education, the American Geographical Society Library is able to offer three additional research fellowships each year over the next three years. This is great news for us as we have been extremely pleased by the level of research undertaken by our fellows over the past few years. As a result of this additional funding, we are extending the application deadline to October 15, 2003. The Best Research Fellowships offer stipends of $375 per week for periods up to 4 weeks, and will be awarded to support residencies for the purpose of conducting research which makes direct use of the Library. The Fellowships will be tenable between January 5, 2004 and December 31, 2004. The AGS Library, the former research library and map collection of the American Geographical Society of New York, has strengths in geography, cartography and related historical topics.
