To help researchers make use of our collections, Silver Special Collections Library is a member of the New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC), a collaboration of 31 major cultural organizations that provides stipends to scholars for a minimum of eight weeks of research at participating institutions. NERFC will offer at least two dozen awards in the 2024 application cycle. Applications are due February 1, 2024. Information about the fellowship and the application process is available at the NERFC website. Researchers interested in using our collections are encouraged to contact us about resources, research policies and hours.
