We are delighted to announce that the Eccles Institute for the Americas and Oceania at the British Library is inviting applications for its 2026–2027 Visiting Fellowship programme. If you are working on any kind of project about the Americas (the peoples and lands of Canada, the USA, the Caribbean, and Central and South America) that would be transformed by a few weeks of using the Library’s collections, this could be the fellowship for you.
We encourage applications on any relevant subject, however we’re particularly interested in projects which align with one of four themes:
The deadline to apply is 17.00 GMT on Friday 19 December 2025. Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application in late March, and Fellowships can be taken up between1 April 2026 and 30 September 2027.
