Smithsonian Institution Libraries Awards Five Resident Scholar Grants

Smithsonian Institution Libraries has awarded grants to two Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology Resident Scholars and three Baird Society Resident Scholars for the 2009 academic year. These competitive short­term grants are offered for one to six months to historians, librarians and bibliographers, as well as predoctoral and postdoctoral students, with an approved research project. The five scholars will complete their residencies at one or more of the Smithsonian Libraries’ 20 branches for various lengths of time throughout the year.
