Additional Honorary Fellowships may be awarded to support research and special access but without financial support.
The National Library of Australia is able to offer these fellowships thanks to generous philanthropic support from the Stokes Family; in memory of
Averill Edwards; the Harold S. Williams Trust; the Ray Mathew and Eva Kollsman Trust for Research in Australian Literature; the Patrons and Supporters of the Library’s Treasures Gallery Access Program for Curatorial Research; and the Minerals Council of Australia.
