Resources 

The Huntington is a collections-based research and educational institution, which promotes humanities scholarship on the basis of its library holdings and art collections. 

The Library holds more than 11 million items that span the 11th to 21st centuries. Its diverse materials center on fourteen intersecting collection strengths. The Art Museum features British, European, American, and Asian art spanning more than 500 years and includes more than 45,000 objects.  

Support 

The Huntington offers 15 Long-Term Fellowships; 13 for the academic year (9-11 months) in residence, each with a stipend of $50,000, and 2 for an academic term (4-5 months) with a $25,000 stipend. Although both of the academic term (4 to 5 months) and nine of the academic year (9 to 11 months) fellowships are open to scholars working on projects in any area where The Huntington’s collections are strong, there are specific awards for the study of maritime history (The Kemble Fellowship), the history of medicine (The Molina Fellowship) and the history of science (The Dibner Fellowships). Three awards (the Thom Fellowships) are reserved for recent post-doctoral scholars. 

Approximately 130 Short-Term Fellowships are available for one to three months in residence and carry monthly stipends of $3,500. They are open to scholars in any field where the Huntington’s collections are strong. 

We offer six one-month Travel Grants for Study Abroad for humanities research to be carried out in libraries or archives outside of the United States or Canada and nine one-month Exchange Fellowships with Corpus Christi, Jesus, Lincoln, and New Colleges, Oxford; Trinity Hall, Cambridge; Trinity College Dublin/Marsh's Library; the University of Birmingham; the University of Durham; and the John Rylands Research Institute and Library at The University of Manchester.
