Fellows will receive funds to access the extensive museum and archival collections of the South Dakota State Historical Society. Funds may be used for travel and lodging expenses and research-related fees. The society will distribute $3,000 among one to three individuals.
Within a year of the award date, fellows must submit an article manuscript to our quarterly journal, South Dakota History, or a book proposal to the press.
Applications should include:
- A resume or C.V. (no more than two pages).
- A proposal (no more than three pages, double-spaced) that answers the following questions:
- What collections from the state archives and/or museum collections do you plan to consult? How long do you plan to be in Pierre?
- What is the purpose/goal of your research? What historical topic or question are you investigating?
- What contribution does your work make to the field?
- What is the timeline of the project? What work have you accomplished, and what work do you have left to complete?
- How will the resulting project be suitable for publication in either South Dakota History or as a Press book?
