General Information
Are you an advanced undergraduate or graduate student in STEM? Would you like a summer opportunity to work on a cutting-edge digital platform that is reimagining the future of digital libraries?
The John Carter Brown Library hosts a premier collection of rare books, maps, and images pertaining to the history of the Americas during the early modern period. The JCB has a rich history with technology, dating back to its early adoption of a Photostat machine in 1912 to reproduce its collection. Now, the JCB runs a robust digitization program and has recently launched Americana. This innovative digital platform allows users to search, read, and create their own projects using our unique collections.
This pilot fellowship will allow STEM concentrators to work with Americana for 3 months over the summer months. A student will have the opportunity to participate in the daily life of a large digital project, under the supervision of our digital team, contributing to our work on enhancing the platform’s capacities while creating their own project based on our digital assets.
The fellowship offers a stipend of 1,500 USD per month.
