BAKKEN VISITING RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS
The Bakken Library and Museum in Minneapolis offers visiting research
fellowships for the purpose of facilitating scholarly research in its

focus of the Bakken's collection is on the history of electricity and
magnetism and their applications in the life sciences and medicine. Related
materials include mesmerism and animal magnetism, 19th-century ephemera
concerning alternative electromedical therapies, letters of various
scientisits, and trade catalogues. The instruments include electrostatic
generators, magneto-electric generators, induction coils, physiological
instruments, recording devices, and accessories.
The fellowship is a maximum of $1,300 and is to be used for travel,
subsistence, and other direct costs of conducting research at The Bakken.
The minimum period of residence is one week. This year's application
deadline is March 1, 2000. For further information, please contact:
