2 PM  |  “Getting Into the Archive: Tales from Inside”
Paul Erickson, Director of the Clements Library, University of Michigan

This presentation will seek to demystify the process of applying for support for humanities research from libraries and archives by explaining it from the inside. It will offer suggestions for how to increase your chances of receiving fellowship support for your work.

Paul Erickson is the Randolph G. Adams Director of the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan, a leading collection of early Americana. In 1993 Paul got his first experience administering fellowship programs for scholars from the humanities and social sciences, and that is work that he has done for most of the past 20 years.
