THE HENRY BELIN DU PONT
DISSERTATION FELLOWSHIP
IN BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY

     The Hagley Museum and Library is extending the deadline for its
Henry
Belin du Pont Dissertation Fellowship in Business, Technology, and
Society. Application dossiers must be postmarked by February 8 to be
considered for this fellowship, except for transcripts which may be sent
soon after that date.

     The Henry Belin du Pont Dissertation Fellowship at the Hagley
Museum
and Library is designed for graduate students who have completed all
course work for the doctoral degree and are conducting research on their
dissertation. We invite applications from Ph. D. candidates whose
research
on important historical questions would benefit from use of Hagley's
research collections. Applications should demonstrate superior
intellectual quality, present a persuasive methodology for the project,
and show that there are substantial research materials at Hagley
pertinent
to the dissertation.

 This is a residential fellowship with a term of four months. The
fellowship provides $6,000, free housing on Hagley's grounds, use of a
computer, email and Internet access, and an office. Recipients are
expected to have no other obligations during the term of the fellowship,
to maintain continuous residence at Hagley for its duration, and to
participate in events organized by Hagley's Center for the History of
Business, Technology, and Society. Toward the end of residency the
recipient will make a presentation at Hagley based on research conducted
during the fellowship. Hagley also should receive a copy of the
dissertation, as well as any publications aided by the fellowship.

     Application dossiers must include a dissertation prospectus, a
statement concerning the relevance of Hagley's research collections to
the
project, graduate school transcript(s), and at least two letters of
recommendation. Writing samples also are welcome.

     Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with Hagley
staff prior to submitting a dossier. Inquiries and applications should
be
directed to:
