RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS

Researchers have used the Kentucky Historical Society’s rich archival holdings to shed light on a vast array of topics, from frontier land distribution and law, to Civil War medicine and from river-borne commerce in the 19th century to Kentucky’s nuclear energy industry.

To help facilitate your research, KHS offers short-term fellowships (one to four weeks) to promote scholarship on any facet of Kentucky’s history.

We two two types of fellowships: General Fellowships and Oral History Use Fellowship . General Fellowships are available in two award cycles (March 1 and Oct. 1 each year) and the Oral History Use Fellowship is available annually (March 1).
