Frances E. Malamy had deep roots within PEM and the Phillips Library.

A long-standing member of the museum family, she dedicated tireless hours processing manuscripts. She was a unique and extraordinary individual who firmly believed that the Phillips Library provides value to the academic community and the public, and realized the importance of the collection and its outreach impact on the greater intellectual world. To sustain the contributions that Frances made to the library, her husband Michael and her two children, Jocelyn and Adam, have funded this fellowship as a lasting tribute to her memory and her interest in the Phillips Library and the world of scholarship.

The Frances E. Malamy Research Fellowship is awarded to one recipient each year to perform independent scholarly research.

Fellowships awarded may be taken in the calendar year following an accepted application. The recipient receives a $5,500 award, payable in two equal installments, at the middle and conclusion of their residency.

Qualification to be eligible for the fellowship are listed below:

• Research must be centered in the librarys archives and manuscripts collections.

• The fellowship requires in-library research for a minimum of eight weeks, not to be divided into more than two terms.

• The program culminates in the submission of a research summary for the benefit of the librarys audiences, typically a public lecture or discussion, but the format of this is negotiable. PEM reserves the right to publicize the resulting product in order to promote research within the collection.

• This fellowship is available to U.S. citizens, green card holders and holders of an F1 student visa or a J1 practicum/training visa.

To be considered for this fellowship, please have your application submitted by Sunday, October 27, 2024.
