The Friends of Longfellow House–Washington’s Headquarters are now accepting applications for the 2024 Stanley Paterson Research Fellowship.
The Paterson Fellowship supports research by scholars using the archives and collections at Longfellow House–Washington’s Headquarters National Historic Site, 105 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA. The fellowship consists of a $1,600 stipend to support expenses for research in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Past Fellows have studied a broad range of topics, including Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s influences and poetic career, architecture and design from Colonial Cambridge to the Colonial Revival, and the motivations and interests of gay and lesbian historic preservationists in the 20th century. These projects draw on the surprisingly diverse and wide-ranging archival material related to the extended Longfellow family held by Longfellow House–Washington’s Headquarters National Historic Site.
The 2024 Fellowship Call for Entries has more information and directions on how to apply. Applications are due on April 15, 2024, with notification to applicants on May 3, 2024.
