Special Collections Faculty Fellowship

https://lib.lsu.edu/special#fellows

The LSU Special Collections Faculty Fellowship offers faculty the opportunity to develop research-driven courses using materials at Hill Memorial Library. Currently in its third year, the fellowship will encourage digitally engaged and archive-centered teaching across campus by providing a $2,500 professional development stipend, hands-on workshops, and guidance from the library staff. Information about the 2026 fellowship will be available in Spring 2026. This project has two main objectives:

To provide support to faculty committed to developing archive-centered instruction and implementing digital tools in their courses.
To enrich the experience of LSU students by facilitating access to our research collections in a high-impact, active-learning environment.

Archival research is often associated with the humanities, but LSU Special Collections has holdings that can support work in fine arts, social sciences, and even STEM fields. More information about previous fellowship projects can be found here and here.

The fellowship will kick-off with an orientation that will take place over four days: from 9 am to 2pm August 18-20 and from 9 am to 12pm on August 21. Orientation will include a tour of Hill and discussions on developing archival skills, best practices for archive-centered pedagogy, how to implement digital tools in the classroom, and critical perspectives on these topics.

Throughout Fall 2025, fellows will meet for an hour every two weeks to build on the pedagogical discussions begun during orientation, as well as to share and discuss their plans for curriculum development. In past years, we have had fall meetings on topics such as “Developing Primary Source Literacy in the Classroom,” “Learning from Collections as Data,” and “Building Digital Collections and Editions in the Classroom.”

Fellows will receive a $2,500 professional development stipend to compensate them for their time and participation.

Stay tuned for details on the 2026 Open House.

Applications will reopen in Spring 2026.

In addition to gathering basic contact information and a brief description of the course that applicants hope to develop, the form requires applicants to submit:

A brief curriculum development proposal
A brief statement of teaching philosophy focused on student research
A current CV
