Founded in 2005, the program is dedicated to providing talented, motivated undergraduate scholars the opportunity to pursue original primary source research in some of the finest archival collections relevant to early American history.


Ten highly competitive fellowships are awarded annually to rising seniors preparing to undertake thesis projects at liberal arts colleges. Undergraduate fellows receive generous stipends, housing for the duration of the seminar, and reimbursement for travel expenses to Philadelphia to fund three weeks of intensive seminar sessions in historiography and critique and individual archival research.
