Bryant Fellowship

The Douglas W. Bryant Fellowship, established with a gift from Charles and Mary Tanenbaum, supports research in bibliography and historical aspects of librarianship, the production of reference and bibliographic tools, and scholarly investigations outside the field of librarianship. Available each year since 1974 to promote scholarly research, the fellowship is intended to provide incentive and assistance to those seeking to develop or complete projects of academic importance.

Applications for the fellowships are reviewed by the Bryant Fellowships Review Subcommittee of the Professional Development Committee, on behalf of the Harvard University Library.
