Warwick postgraduate students working on Medieval, Renaissance or Early Modern topics may apply for funding to attend selected graduate training seminars at the Newberry Library in Chicago or to undertake research in the Newberry’s rich collections.  Applications must be made through Warwick’s Centre for the Study of the Renaissance.

The Newberry Library’s own Center for Renaissance Studies (founded in 1979) serves an international public of scholars through the use of the library’s internationally renowned collections in the late medieval and early modern periods, through to the Napoleonic age. The Center is organized as an international consortium of 47 universities that contribute to its administration and the planning of a range of research and advanced (graduate and post-doctoral) skills training programmes. Warwick is currently one of three UK institutions to be a member of the Consortium of the Newberry Library’s Center for Renaissance Studies.
Faculty members (i.e. academic staff) and graduate students at Consortium institutions can apply for funds (known as “Newberry Renaissance Consortium Grants”) to participate in Center for Renaissance Studies programs or to conduct research on medieval, Renaissance, or early modern topics at the Newberry Library.
Thanks to a reciprocal arrangement funds may also be available for programs and research at the Folger Institute in Washington, DC (“Newberry Renaissance Consortium Grant for seminar participation/research at the Folger Institute”).
Applications go through the faculty representative in the Consortium institution; in Warwick, you should write to the Director of the Centre for the Study of the Renaissance (in 2009-10, Dr Ingrid De Smet). Postgraduate applicants should first discuss their plans with their supervisors.
