Access Keys:
The prestigious Library of Congress Scholarship scheme, established in 2005, continues to attract growing numbers of excellent applicants. The scheme offers doctoral students and early career researchers the chance to spend up to six months carrying out their research in the vast and internationally renowned collections of the Library of Congress in Washington DC. For many of those taking up these scholarships, a large part of the benefit of the scheme lies in the opportunities presented by meeting and working alongside researchers from around the globe who share an interest in their particular field. Many develop valuable and lasting networks during their time in the United States.
Not only does this give access to the largest library and archive in the world, but also offers opportunity to network with Kluge Fellows and scholars, with the potential to create career-long relationships. A similar scheme operates with the National Institutes for the Humanities in Japan.
