<br />
If you have been awarded money for participation in a Folger Institute program, please consult this page for details about required paperwork, how to receive your award, the tax implications of the award, etc. '''Please note, this guide is only intended for those who received money in conjunction with a Folger Institute program. '''If you are unsure if your program falls into this category, please consult the [https://www.folger.edu/folger-institute Folger Institute website pages]. Please note that the Folger Fellowships program is housed under the Folger Institute.<br />
<br />
If you are still unsure if this guide is for you, please get in touch with your Folger contact.<br />
== Before You Arrive ==<br />
Based on your role here, there are several types of payments<br />
you might receive for your participation in Folger Institute programming. The payment<br />
process and subsequent tax implications will vary depending on the type of<br />
payment you are receiving. Generally speaking, your letter of invitation or<br />
acceptance will detail which type you are receiving, but if you are unsure, begin<br />
by consulting the glossary below.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''Glossary of Payment Types:''' ===<br />
'''Fellowship Award''':<br />
A lump sum payment to residential long-term or short-term fellows in support of<br />
their individual research at the Library. With few exceptions, this is never a<br />
payment for participation in a scholarly program (such as seminars,<br />
conferences, workshops, etc.).<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Grant-in-aid''': A<br />
lump-sum advance payment to Institute scholarly program participants<br />
awarded/intended to offset the travel and lodging costs incurred with<br />
participation in the program. Only participants who ''applied'' to a<br />
scholarly program and have been awarded a grant based on their anticipated<br />
travel and lodging expenses receive this type of funding. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Honorarium''':<br />
Payment received for services provided to the Folger. For example, seminar<br />
directors, program organizers and speakers, and fellowship application<br />
selection committee members receive honoraria.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Stipend: '''If you think you have received a stipend, please communicate with your Folger contact. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Travel Reimbursement''':<br />
Payment made on the basis of receipts for travel and/or lodging costs incurred to<br />
provide services to the Folger. Examples: program speakers and application<br />
selection committee members are reimbursed for their travel.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''Payment Paperwork''' ===<br />
If you are a U.S. tax resident…<br />
<br />
…you will need to complete Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer<br />
Identification Number and Certification). You can request a copy from your<br />
Folger contact. Be sure to sign the form and return it to the Folger Business<br />
Office at [mailto:accountspayable@folger.edu accountspayable@folger.edu].<br />
'''Do not return the form to your contact. '''However,<br />
please let your contact know when you’ve sent the form to the Business Office<br />
so they can follow up and ensure it was received. Please note that you must<br />
complete a new W-9 every tax year for the Folger and that a completed form is<br />
required to complete the check requisition process; if you do not submit a<br />
form, the Folger cannot pay you. <br />
<br />
'''All U.S. tax residents must complete a W-9 form regardless of the type of payment they are receiving.<nowiki/>'''<br />
<br />
<br />
If you are not a U.S. tax resident…<br />
<br />
…please contact your Folger contact to discuss what<br />
paperwork is required for your payment as it varies depending on the type of<br />
payment and its purpose. <br />
<br />
In most circumstances, you will need to fill out<br />
a Folger-specific form called a Foreign National Information Form (FNIF). This<br />
form will be used internally to determine if your payment will be subject to<br />
tax withholding and, if so, at what rate. To find out more about tax withholding<br />
and how to reclaim the withheld money, please see the After Your Program section. <br />
<br />
'''Please submit your paperwork to the Folger Business Office no later than one month before your arrival at the Library in order to receive your payment upon arrival.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''Payment Options: Check vs. Electronic Wire Transfer''' ===<br />
If you have an individual U.S. bank account…<br />
<br />
… '''we can only provide a paper check for you.''' Currently, the Folger Shakespeare Library is not set up to transfer money directly to individual U.S. bank accounts. <br />
<br />
If you have an international/non-U.S. bank account…<br />
<br />
… we can offer either:<br />
# A paper check in the currency of your choosing. Please tell your Folger contact which currency you prefer; otherwise you will receive a check in U.S. dollars, which may incur currency conversion fees from your home bank. You can also cash checks in U.S. dollars at one of the local banks . <br />
# An electronic wire transfer to your international/non-U.S. bank account. If you select this option, you will need to send your Folger contact (and/or the Folger Business Office) the following information:<br />
## The Name of Your Bank<br />
## IBAN<br />
Please note it takes approximately<br />
two weeks for the money to appear in your account, depending on your bank’s<br />
security measures. Also, the money will come from a third-party vendor, Western<br />
Union Business Solutions.<br />
<br />
A quick note about payment: '''unless it is specified in your award letter that the Folger Institute will be paying for your Folger Properties rent and/or hotel bill directly, we cannot deduct your rent from your award.''' You must coordinate payment of your Folger Properties’ rent with the Folger Properties Manager, [mailto:jpitman@folger.edu Jodie Pitman]. <br />

Please remember that these are costs that are reimbursable<br />
only on the basis of receipts. Please hold on to your receipts to turn in to<br />
your Folger contact for payment. <br />
<br />
Note: gas for driving is done on the basis of mileage, not<br />
gas station receipts. The Folger uses the federally-determined mileage<br />
reimbursement rate. Therefore, in place of receipts, please send documentation<br />
of how many miles you traveled (generally, a print out of the directions from<br />
your start to end location from Google Maps will suffice). The Folger also reimburses for tolls on the basis on receipts. <br />
<br />
'''As a policy, the Folger Institute ''<u>does not reimburse food costs</u>'' incurred in conjunction with participation in a program.'''<nowiki/>'''<nowiki/>'''<br />

<br />
<br />
== Upon Arrival ==<br />
When you arrive for your Folger Institute program, here is<br />
what you can expect (as far as payment):<br />
# You will receive your check on the first day of your program/fellowship (provided you have turned in your required paperwork and/or receipts ahead of time). If you are receiving an electronic funds transfer (EFT), sometimes known as a “wire transfer,” the funds will be released from our third-party (Western Union Business Solutions) to your account on your first day here. It can take up to two weeks for those funds to appear in your bank account after our third-party vendor releases them. <br />
# If you are a non-U.S. tax resident, please be prepared to sign a W8-BEN form (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)).<br />
# Be sure to inform your Folger contact if there are any problems with your payment.<br />

== After Your Program ==<br />
Your time at the Folger has come and gone, you’ve received your payment, and tax season is looming. Now what?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''Important Disclaimers and Logistical Reminders''' ===<br />
We hope this section will help you understand what to expect<br />
from the Folger and how (or if) the money you received will factor into filing<br />
for your U.S. tax return. <br />
* '''First, we want to make clear that the Folger Library staff members are not tax professionals and cannot legally give you any advice about how to file your taxes. If you have questions, we strongly recommend you seek out the counsel of a tax professional.'''<br />
* Please note that any paperwork sent to you will come from the '''Trustees of Amherst College''', and not the Folger Shakespeare Library. Typically, tax paperwork is mailed by '''mid-February''' and you should expect to receive it within in a few weeks of mailing. If you have not received paperwork by mid-March and believe you should have, please contact your Folger contact.<br />
* U.S. taxes are based on the (taxable) income accrued in a calendar year. If, for example, your program or fellowship was in January 2018, you will not file for taxes until April 15 of the following year (2019). If your program or fellowship spans two calendar years and you receive income in both years, you will need to file taxes twice. If you are unsure whether or not your income is considered taxable, please consult Your Payment’s Tax Implications below.<br />
* If your address has changed since your participation in your Folger Institute program or fellowship – i.e. the address on your application and/or pre-arrival paperwork (W-9 form or FNIF) – please contact the [mailto:accountspayable@folger.edu Business Office] as soon as possible and no later than January of the next calendar year after your program. <br />
* The deadline for submission of U.S. tax returns is April 15 of each year. <br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''Your Payment’s Tax Implications''' ===<br />
The tax implications of your Folger Institute payment will<br />
vary depending on the type of payment, the amount of payment, and the country of<br />
which you are a tax resident. Please review the section that fits your<br />
situation.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== ''Grant-in-aid/Fellowship for U.S. Tax Resident'' ====<br />
If<br />
you received a fellowship or grant-in-aid award from the Folger and are a U.S. tax<br />
resident, '''you will not receive any paperwork from the Folger relating to this money. The Folger does not report it as taxable income, regardless of amount.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
==== ''Honorarium for U.S. Tax Resident'' ====<br />
If<br />
you received an honorarium or other payment totaling more than $600 for<br />
services provided to the Folger, '''you should expect to receive a 1099 form from the Trustees of Amherst College.''' If your honorarium or other<br />
consulting fees totaled less than $600, you will not receive any paperwork from<br />
us. Please note that money received for travel reimbursements are not taxable.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== ''Stipend'' ====<br />
<br />
If you think you have received a stipend, please communicate with your Folger contact. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==== ''Grant-in-aid/Fellowship/Honorarium for Non-U.S. Tax Resident'' ====<br />
If<br />
you received a grant-in-aid, fellowship award, or honorarium from the Folger<br />
Institute and are not a U.S. tax resident, your payment may have been subject<br />
to tax withholding. Depending on whether or not you had an Individual Taxpayer<br />
Identification Number (ITIN) at the time of your Folger payment, and/or the<br />
nature of the tax treaties in place with your country of citizenship at the<br />
time of your Folger payment, your tax withholding was probably either 0%, 14%,<br />
or 30% of the award. You can file to get any withheld money back at the filing<br />
date in the year after you received your payment.<br />
<br />
'''You will receive a 1042-S ''' (Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to<br />
Withholding) from the Trustees of Amherst College which you will need to fill<br />
out a [https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1040nr-us-nonresident-alien-income-tax-return 1040NR] (U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return). Please<br />

<br />
If<br />
you would like to obtain an ITIN, you can find out more about that application process<br />
[https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/general-itin-information here]. <br />
<br />
<br />
==== ''Travel Reimbursement for All Tax Residents'' ====<br />
Travel<br />
reimbursements are not considered taxable income. You will not receive any<br />
paperwork for reimbursements, regardless of the amount received or the country<br />
for which you are a tax resident. <br />
<br />
If<br />
you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your Folger contact, but<br />
remember we cannot legally give you advice about completing or filing your<br />
taxes. <br />

== Before You Arrive ==<br />
Based on your role here, there are several types of payments<br />
you might receive for your participation in Folger Institute programming. The payment<br />
process and subsequent tax implications will vary depending on the type of<br />
payment you are receiving. Generally speaking, your letter of invitation or<br />
acceptance will detail which type you are receiving, but if you are unsure, begin<br />
by consulting the glossary below.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''Glossary of Payment Types:''' ===<br />
'''Fellowship Award''':<br />
A lump sum payment to residential long-term or short-term fellows in support of<br />
their individual research at the Library. With few exceptions, this is never a<br />
payment for participation in a scholarly program (such as seminars,<br />
conferences, workshops, etc.).<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Grant-in-aid''': A<br />
lump-sum advance payment to Institute scholarly program participants<br />
awarded/intended to offset the travel and lodging costs incurred with<br />
participation in the program. Only participants who ''applied'' to a<br />
scholarly program and have been awarded a grant based on their anticipated<br />
travel and lodging expenses receive this type of funding. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Honorarium''':<br />
Payment received for services provided to the Folger. For example, seminar<br />
directors, program organizers and speakers, and fellowship application<br />
selection committee members receive honoraria.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Stipend: '''If you think you have received a stipend, please communicate with your Folger contact. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Travel Reimbursement''':<br />
Payment made on the basis of receipts for travel and/or lodging costs incurred to<br />
provide services to the Folger. Examples: program speakers and application<br />
selection committee members are reimbursed for their travel.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''Payment Paperwork''' ===<br />
If you are a U.S. tax resident…<br />
<br />
…you will need to complete Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer<br />
Identification Number and Certification). You can request a copy from your<br />
Folger contact. Be sure to sign the form and return it to the Folger Business<br />
Office at [mailto:accountspayable@folger.edu accountspayable@folger.edu].<br />
'''Do not return the form to your contact. '''However,<br />
please let your contact know when you’ve sent the form to the Business Office<br />
so they can follow up and ensure it was received. Please note that you must<br />
complete a new W-9 every tax year for the Folger and that a completed form is<br />
required to complete the check requisition process; if you do not submit a<br />
form, the Folger cannot pay you. <br />
<br />
'''All U.S. tax residents must complete a W-9 form regardless of the type of payment they are receiving.<nowiki/>'''<br />
<br />
<br />
If you are not a U.S. tax resident…<br />
<br />
…please contact your Folger contact to discuss what<br />
paperwork is required for your payment as it varies depending on the type of<br />
payment and its purpose. <br />
<br />
In most circumstances, you will need to fill out<br />
a Folger-specific form called a Foreign National Information Form (FNIF). This<br />
form will be used internally to determine if your payment will be subject to<br />
tax withholding and, if so, at what rate. To find out more about tax withholding<br />
and how to reclaim the withheld money, please see the After Your Program section. <br />
<br />
'''Please submit your paperwork to the Folger Business Office no later than one month before your arrival at the Library in order to receive your payment upon arrival.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''Payment Options: Check vs. Electronic Wire Transfer''' ===<br />
If you have an individual U.S. bank account…<br />
<br />
… '''we can only provide a paper check for you.''' Currently, the Folger Shakespeare Library is not set up to transfer money directly to individual U.S. bank accounts. <br />
<br />
If you have an international/non-U.S. bank account…<br />
<br />
… we can offer either:<br />
# A paper check in the currency of your choosing. Please tell your Folger contact which currency you prefer; otherwise you will receive a check in U.S. dollars, which may incur currency conversion fees from your home bank. You can also cash checks in U.S. dollars at one of the local banks . <br />
# An electronic wire transfer to your international/non-U.S. bank account. If you select this option, you will need to send your Folger contact (and/or the Folger Business Office) the following information:<br />
## The Name of Your Bank<br />
## IBAN<br />
Please note it takes approximately<br />
two weeks for the money to appear in your account, depending on your bank’s<br />
security measures. Also, the money will come from a third-party vendor, Western<br />
Union Business Solutions.<br />
<br />
A quick note about payment: '''unless it is specified in your award letter that the Folger Institute will be paying for your Folger Properties rent and/or hotel bill directly, we cannot deduct your rent from your award.''' You must coordinate payment of your Folger Properties’ rent with the Folger Properties Manager, [mailto:jpitman@folger.edu Jodie Pitman]. <br />

complete a new W-9 every tax year for the Folger and that a completed form is<br />
required to complete the check requisition process; if you do not submit a<br />
form, the Folger cannot pay you. <br />
<br />
'''All U.S. tax residents must complete a W-9 form regardless of the type of payment they are receiving.<nowiki/>'''<br />
<br />
<br />
If you are not a U.S. tax resident…<br />
<br />
…please contact your Folger contact to discuss what<br />
paperwork is required for your payment as it varies depending on the type of<br />
payment and its purpose. <br />
<br />
In most circumstances, you will need to fill out<br />
a Folger-specific form called a Foreign National Information Form (FNIF). This<br />
form will be used internally to determine if your payment will be subject to<br />
tax withholding and, if so, at what rate. To find out more about tax withholding<br />
and how to reclaim the withheld money, please see the After Your Program section. <br />
<br />
'''Please submit your paperwork to the Folger Business Office no later than one month before your arrival at the Library in order to receive your payment upon arrival.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''Payment Options: Check vs. Electronic Wire Transfer''' ===<br />
If you have an individual U.S. bank account…<br />
<br />
… '''we can only provide a paper check for you.''' Currently, the Folger Shakespeare Library is not set up to transfer money directly to individual U.S. bank accounts. <br />
<br />
If you have an international/non-U.S. bank account…<br />
<br />
… we can offer either:<br />
# A paper check in the currency of your choosing. Please tell your Folger contact which currency you prefer; otherwise you will receive a check in U.S. dollars, which may incur currency conversion fees from your home bank. You can also cash checks in U.S. dollars at one of the local banks . <br />
# An electronic wire transfer to your international/non-U.S. bank account. If you select this option, you will need to send your Folger contact (and/or the Folger Business Office) the following information:<br />
## The Name of Your Bank<br />
## IBAN<br />
Please note it takes approximately<br />
two weeks for the money to appear in your account, depending on your bank’s<br />
security measures. Also, the money will come from a third-party vendor, Western<br />
Union Business Solutions.<br />
<br />
A quick note about payment: '''unless it is specified in your award letter that the Folger Institute will be paying for your Folger Properties rent and/or hotel bill directly, we cannot deduct your rent from your award.''' You must coordinate payment of your Folger Properties’ rent with the Folger Properties Manager, [mailto:jpitman@folger.edu Jodie Pitman]. <br />

=== '''Reimbursements: What Can You Submit?''' ===<br />
If you have received notice from your Folger contact that<br />
you can reimburse your travel expenses, here are the types of travel costs you<br />
can submit for reimbursement:<br />
* Plane tickets (including baggage fees)<br />
* Train tickets<br />
* Taxi/Uber/Lyft fares<br />
* Metro fares<br />
* Bus fares<br />
* Gas for driving<br />
<br />
<br />
Please remember that these are costs that are reimbursable<br />
only on the basis of receipts. Please hold on to your receipts to turn in to<br />
your Folger contact for payment. <br />
<br />
Note: gas for driving is done on the basis of mileage, not<br />
gas station receipts. The Folger uses the federally-determined mileage<br />
reimbursement rate. Therefore, in place of receipts, please send documentation<br />
of how many miles you traveled (generally, a print out of the directions from<br />
your start to end location from Google Maps will suffice).<br />
<br />
'''As a policy, the Folger Institute ''<u>does not reimburse food costs</u>'' incurred in conjunction with participation in a program.'''<nowiki/>'''<nowiki/>'''<br />

When you arrive for your Folger Institute program, here is<br />
what you can expect (as far as payment):<br />
# You will receive your check on the first day of your program/fellowship (provided you have turned in your required paperwork and/or receipts ahead of time). If you are receiving an electronic funds transfer (EFT), sometimes known as a “wire transfer,” the funds will be released from our third-party (Western Union Business Solutions) to your account on your first day here. It can take up to two weeks for those funds to appear in your bank account after our third-party vendor releases them. <br />
# If you are a non-U.S. tax resident, please be prepared to sign a W8-BEN form (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)).<br />

== After Your Program ==<br />
Your time at the Folger has come and gone, you’ve received your payment, and tax season is looming. Now what?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''Important Disclaimers and Logistical Reminders''' ===<br />
We hope this section will help you understand what to expect<br />
from the Folger and how (or if) the money you received will factor into filing<br />
for your U.S. tax return. <br />
* '''First, we want to make clear that the Folger Library staff members are not tax professionals and cannot legally give you any advice about how to file your taxes. If you have questions, we strongly recommend you seek out the counsel of a tax professional.'''<br />
* Please note that any paperwork sent to you will come from the '''Trustees of Amherst College''', and not the Folger Shakespeare Library. Typically, tax paperwork is mailed by '''mid-February''' and you should expect to receive it within in a few weeks of mailing. If you have not received paperwork by mid-March and believe you should have, please contact your Folger contact.<br />
* U.S. taxes are based on the (taxable) income accrued in a calendar year. If, for example, your program or fellowship was in January 2018, you will not file for taxes until April 15 of the following year (2019). If your program or fellowship spans two calendar years and you receive income in both years, you will need to file taxes twice. If you are unsure whether or not your income is considered taxable, please consult Your Payment’s Tax Implications below.<br />
* If your address has changed since your participation in your Folger Institute program or fellowship – i.e. the address on your application and/or pre-arrival paperwork (W-9 form or FNIF) – please contact the [mailto:accountspayable@folger.edu Business Office] as soon as possible and no later than January of the next calendar year after your program. <br />
* The deadline for submission of U.S. tax returns is April 15 of each year. <br />
<br />
<br />
=== '''Your Payment’s Tax Implications''' ===<br />
The tax implications of your Folger Institute payment will<br />
vary depending on the type of payment, the amount of payment, and the country of<br />
which you are a tax resident. Please review the section that fits your<br />
situation.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== ''Grant-in-aid/Fellowship for U.S. Tax Resident'' ====<br />
If<br />
you received a fellowship or grant-in-aid award from the Folger and are a U.S. tax<br />
resident, '''you will not receive any paperwork from the Folger relating to this money. The Folger does not report it as taxable income, regardless of amount.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
==== ''Honorarium for U.S. Tax Resident'' ====<br />
If<br />
you received an honorarium or other payment totaling more than $600 for<br />
services provided to the Folger, '''you should expect to receive a 1099 form from the Trustees of Amherst College.''' If your honorarium or other<br />
consulting fees totaled less than $600, you will not receive any paperwork from<br />
us. Please note that money received for travel reimbursements are not taxable.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== ''Stipend'' ====<br />
<br />
If you think you have received a stipend, please communicate with your Folger contact. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==== ''Grant-in-aid/Fellowship/Honorarium for Non-U.S. Tax Resident'' ====<br />
If<br />
you received a grant-in-aid, fellowship award, or honorarium from the Folger<br />
Institute and are not a U.S. tax resident, your payment may have been subject<br />
to tax withholding. Depending on whether or not you had an Individual Taxpayer<br />
Identification Number (ITIN) at the time of your Folger payment, and/or the<br />
nature of the tax treaties in place with your country of citizenship at the<br />
time of your Folger payment, your tax withholding was probably either 0%, 14%,<br />
or 30% of the award. You can file to get any withheld money back at the filing<br />
date in the year after you received your payment.<br />
<br />
'''You will receive a 1042-S ''' (Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to<br />
Withholding) from the Trustees of Amherst College which you will need to fill<br />
out a [https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1040nr-us-nonresident-alien-income-tax-return 1040NR] (U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return). Please<br />
follow the link to find out more about filing for your tax return.<br />
<br />
If<br />
you would like to obtain an ITIN, you can find out more about that application process<br />
[https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/general-itin-information here]. <br />
<br />
<br />
==== ''Travel Reimbursement for All Tax Residents'' ====<br />
Travel<br />
reimbursements are not considered taxable income. You will not receive any<br />
paperwork for reimbursements, regardless of the amount received or the country<br />
for which you are a tax resident. <br />
<br />
If<br />
you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your Folger contact, but<br />
remember we cannot legally give you advice about completing or filing your<br />
taxes. <br />

<hr />
<div>Each year, the [[Folger Institute]] offers 50 long- and short-term residential research fellowships to encourage use of the exceptional collections of the Folger Shakespeare Library and to encourage ongoing cross-disciplinary dialogue among scholars of the early modern period. These fellowships derive from a variety of funding sources. Awardees are expected to be in continuous residence and to participate in the intellectual life of the Folger.<br />
== Long-term Fellowships ==<br />
<br />
Long-term fellowships are supported by the funds from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Folger Shakespeare Library. We seek highly talented, productive scholars whose work will be significantly advanced by a prolonged period of access to the collection. Long-term fellows are selected by an external committee whose members consider the following criteria in making selections: importance of the topic, originality and sophistication of the approach; feasibility of research objectives, and the applicant’s need for the Folger collections.<br />
<br />
A complete application includes: a 250-word abstract; a 1,000-word proposal and brief bibliography of primary sources to be consulted; a four-page curriculum vitae; two letters of recommendation.<br />
<br />
Application Deadline: 1 November of each year<br />
<br />
Number of Fellowships awarded: up to five<br />
<br />
Period of residence: six to nine months<br />
<br />
Stipend: up to $50,000 for nine months, prorated for fewer than nine<br />
<br />
Must hold Ph.D. or equivalent at time of application<br />
<br />
NEH fellowships are restricted to US citizens or foreign nationals who have been living in the US for at least three years prior to application; Mellon and Folger fellowships are open to citizens of any country. The Folger fellowship may be awarded to an untenured scholar. <br />
<br />
== Short-term Fellowships ==<br />
<br />
Short-term fellowships are supported by the Library’s own endowments and carry a stipend of $2,500 per month. Some fellowship endowments seek to support scholars working on a specific topic or from a specific region, while others are unrestricted. Short-term Fellows are selected by an internal committee and one external scholar. The members of the committee consider the following criteria in making selections: importance of the topic, originality and sophistication of the approach; feasibility of research objectives, and the applicant’s need for the Folger collections. The members of the selection committee may be inclined to give special weight to the applicant's need for the collections.<br />
<br />
A complete application includes: a 250-word abstract; a 1,000-word proposal and brief bibliography of primary sources to be consulted; a 4-page curriculum vitae; and two letters of recommendation.<br />
<br />
Application Deadline: 1 March of each year<br />
<br />
Number of Fellowships awarded: approximately 40<br />
<br />
Period of Residence: one to three months<br />
<br />
Stipend: $2,500 per month<br />
<br />
Must hold Ph.D. or equivalent at time of application<br />

<div><br />
In January, the Folger Shakespeare Library hosts undergraduates from [https://www.amherst.edu/ Amherst College] in the Amherst-Folger Undergraduate Research Fellowship program. The Fellows conduct research at the Folger Shakespeare Library on a project of their choosing. In recent years, their individual research has been framed by readings, group discussion, and consultation with Folger staff. For more information, see [http://www.folger.edu/undergraduate-research Undergraduate research at the Folger]. <br />
<br />
== Program History ==<br />
The program began in 1996 under the direction of then-Librarian, Richard Kuhta. At its inception, two to three fellowships were awarded annually, with sponsorship from the Friends of the Amherst College Library. Numbers of undergraduate fellows increased to as many as six in 2011. In 2013, the Folger Institute assumed the onsite direction of the program, and at Amherst, the opportunity was newly situated in the [https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/colloquia/center-humanistic-inquiry Center for Humanistic Inquiry]. Since that time, the program has included a short, intensive seminar, introducing a focus on the materials of early modern textual production and the ways those physical aspects of form also shape our understanding of both content and the social relations that texts mediate over time. The two-week seminar contains a mix of readings, work with Folger professional staff and fellows in residence, archival exercises, and discussion about wider applications outside the early modern period. <br />
<br />
If you are an undergraduate student at Amherst College and interested in applying for the program, you can find more information about the application guidelines and process on the Center for Humanistic Inquiry's [https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/colloquia/center-humanistic-inquiry/folger website]. <br />

In January, the Folger Shakespeare Library hosts undergraduates from [https://www.amherst.edu/ Amherst College] in the Amherst-Folger Undergraduate Research Fellowship program. The Fellows conduct research at the Folger Shakespeare Library on a project of their choosing. In recent years, their individual research has been framed by readings, group discussion, and consultation with Folger staff. For more information, see [http://www.folger.edu/undergraduate-research Undergraduate research at the Folger]. <br />
<br />
== Program History ==<br />
The program began in 1996 under the direction of then-Librarian, Richard Kuhta. At its inception, two to three fellowships were awarded annually, with sponsorship from the Friends of the Amherst College Library. Numbers of undergraduate fellows increased to as many as six in 2011. In 2013, the Folger Institute assumed the onsite direction of the program, and at Amherst, the opportunity was newly situated in the [https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/colloquia/center-humanistic-inquiry Center for Humanistic Inquiry]. Since that time, the program has included a short, intensive seminar, introducing a focus on the materials of early modern textual production and the ways those physical aspects of form also shape our understanding of both content and the social relations that texts mediate over time. The two-week seminar contains a mix of readings, work with Folger professional staff and fellows in residence, archival exercises, and discussion about wider applications outside the early modern period. <br />

In January, the Folger Shakespeare Library hosts undergraduates from [https://www.amherst.edu/ Amherst College] in the Amherst-Folger Undergraduate Research Fellowship program. The Fellows conduct research at the Folger Shakespeare Library on a project of their choosing. In recent years, their individual research has been framed by readings, group discussion, and consultation with Folger staff. For more information, see [http://www.folger.edu/undergraduate-research Undergraduate research at the Folger]. <br />
<br />
== Program History ==<br />
The program began in 1996 under the direction of then-Librarian, Richard Kuhta. At its inception, two to three fellowships were awarded annually, with sponsorship from the Friends of the Amherst College Library. Numbers of undergraduate fellows increased to as many as six in 2011. In 2013, the Folger Institute assumed the onsite direction of the program, and at Amherst, the opportunity was newly situated in the [https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/colloquia/center-humanistic-inquiry Center for Humanistic Inquiry]. Since that time, the program has included a short, intensive seminar, introducing a focus on the materials of early modern textual production and the ways those physical aspects of form also shape our understanding of both content and the social relations that texts mediate over time. The two-week seminar contains a mix of readings, work with Folger professional staff and fellows in residence, archival exercises, and discussion about wider applications outside the early modern period. <br />

<div>Founded in 1970 as a unique collaborative endeavor of the [[Folger Shakespeare Library]] and two Washington-area universities, the Folger Institute is a dedicated center for advanced study and collections-focused research in the humanities at the Folger Shakespeare Library. The Institute fosters targeted investigations of the world-class Folger collection. Through its multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural formal programs and residential research fellowships, the Institute gathers knowledge communities and establishes fresh research and teaching agendas for early modern humanities. Its advanced undergraduate program introduces students to rare materials and the research questions that can be explored with those materials. Plans are also underway to organize larger scale, collaborative research initiatives. This new aggregation was launched at the Folger in 2013. For more information, please consult [[History of the Folger Institute]].<br />
<br />
The work of the Institute in all its many parts has been generously supported by endowments from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, program and fellowship grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the sustaining memberships of the universities of the Institute's consortium, and support from a variety of other sources. The Folger Institute helps set the intellectual agenda for early modern humanities. Through their interpretations of primary source materials, its associated scholars bring to light important issues from early modernity that still resonate today.<br />
<br />
==Scholarly resources==<br />
The Institute collaborates with a number of early modern scholars around the globe. Whenever possible, the fruits of these collaborations are provided gratis in order to foster scholarly conversations. <br />

==Research fellowships==<br />
The Institute funds advanced, residential research fellowships at the Folger Shakespeare Library. The Library, which opened in 1932, offered its first fellowships in 1935; the current, more extensive, and more senior fellowships initiative had its start in 1984. The Mellon Foundation, the NEH, and the Folger support long-term fellowships. An independently awarded ACLS Burkhardt fellowship is also available annually. Several Folger endowment funds support short-term fellowships. The Folger also collaborates with the Renaissance Society of America, the Sixteenth Century Society and Conference, and the American Historical Association to offer short-term fellowships.<br />

==Scholarly Programs==<br />
Now in its fifth decade, the Institute’s consortium of member universities has grown from the local to the regional to the international; it includes more than 40 leading colleges and universities. Generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and other sources augments the consortium’s program planning. An annual slate of seminars, conferences, and workshops explores the many fields represented in the Folger Shakespeare Library collections. Specialized Centers for the Study of Shakespeare and the History of British Political Thought focus programming in those fields.<br />

===Center for Shakespeare Studies===<br />
The Center for Shakespeare Studies was founded in 1986 with an NEH grant. The Center's first premise is that no single critical approach, historical perspective, scholarly method, or pedagogical strategy can do justice to Shakespeare's texts and contexts. The Center presents and encourages a wide variety of approaches to its subject. Generous support from the NEH has funded many Center programs and ensured that the Center's reach extends to college teachers across the country. Numerous NEH summer institutes, two groundbreaking year-long performance institutes, and conferences have been among the highlights of the Center's offerings. <br />

===Center for the History of British Political Thought===<br />
In 1984, a National Endowment for the Humanities grant established the Folger Institute Center for the History of British Political Thought. In 1996, an endowment from Dr. [[Barbara Taft]] assured its future. Further gifts and a bequest from Dr. Taft have strengthened its position. Since the Center's creation by [[J.G.A. Pocock]], [[Lois G. Schwoerer]], and [[Gordon J. Schochet]], its Steering Committee has fostered a number of different agendas in British Political Thought. Through a series of carefully plotted seminars, conferences, and publications, it has re-mapped the main patterns of discourse in a major political culture over three seminal centuries. The Institute maintains a complete list of all Center programs and publications.<br />

<div>Below are the descriptions for the [[Material Witness]] sessions that took place during the 2016–2017 academic year. These include the fellow who curated the session as well as the list of items that were displayed.<br />
<br />
'''October 26, 2016 - "Unbound: Manuscript Fragments"'''<br />
<br />
Books from the handpress era were bound with an array of materials: the threads of provisional stitching, soft vellum wrappers, stiffened boards, and, quite frequently, repurposed manuscripts. Reuniting hybrid items that are now catalogued separately, in this program we will begin to construct a history of early modern book use, modern<br />
conservation, and the library’s investment in preserving its own past. Curated by [[Megan Heffernan]] (English, DePaul University), this collection-focused<br />
discussion considers manuscript fragments that have been salvaged from the<br />
bindings of printed books held at the Folger. <br />
<br />
<u>Materials Displayed:</u><br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (7):'' Lease for Nathaniel and Joane Carter<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (9 a, b) + STC 23040:'' From the accounts of Knapton Manor, formerly bound with John Speed, ''A prospect of the most famous parts of the vvorld ''(1631)<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (11 a, b) + STC 21593 + STC 20996.2, Copy 1:'' Two pieces of an indenture involving Margaret Owen and Symon Herbert. Collation notes from Giles Dawson (the Folger’s first curator of manuscripts and books) and later STC cataloguers describe how one piece was wrapped around Austin Saker’s ''Narbonus'' (1580) and the other around Barnabe Riche’s ''Riche his farewell to militarie profession ''(1583). The two books entered the Folger separately: the Saker in 1937 and the Riche in 1933. We think Laetitia Yeandle recognized and reunited the indenture after the two books were rebound in the 1960s. Last week, conservation (very helpfully!) removed the manuscript from an older mylar and board housing, exposing the offsets from the ink of other documents and a phantom STC number on the outside of the binding. The microfilm from 1952 shows evidence of the other documents wrapping the Riche.<br />
<br />

'''January 25, 2017 - "Left Behind"'''<br />
<br />
Curated by long-term fellow, [[Debapriya Sarkar]] (Hendrix College), this meeting of Material Witness will focus on early modern things, ideas, and texts that have been excised, abandoned, eliminated, and otherwise left behind – mostly within the early modern period itself, but with a glance at the ways that scholars, archivists, and curators have edited the early modern archive. Together we will examine manuscripts and print texts which will help us to think about the ways that women and men from this period winnowed through their possessions and intellectual productions: we’ll examine manuscript commonplace and recipe books (focusing on items that have many deletions and cross-outs), household inventories (which help to show how objects in the home were discarded and/or preserved), and wills (perhaps the definitive record of items an individual could choose to “leave behind” to others).<br />

'''February 9, 2017 - "500 Years of Treasures from Oxford" (Special Session)'''<br />
<br />
Our next Folger Material Witness session will be led by [[Peter Kidd]], curator of the current "500 Years of Treasures from Oxford" exhibition which goes on display on Feb. 4th at the Folger. Offering a “sneak peek” at the materials that will part of this exhibit, this meeting will focus on tracing the provenance of pre-1600 books and manuscripts. The discussion will focus less on the very obvious marks of provenance, such as bookplates and ownership inscriptions, and more about the usually-overlooked things, such as pencil annotations made by modern book dealers, which can sometimes be used to reveal a lot about a book's earlier history. As a medievalist and cataloguer, Kidd will also address problems and confusions sometimes created by the very different meanings of common terminology used by manuscript and printed book scholars, e.g. "signature," "folio," and "collation." Taken together, these revelations may help scholars and collectors alike to uncover new histories of medieval and Renaissance texts.<br />

<br />
“I warrant he hath a thousand of these letters, writ with blank space for different names” (Merry Wives of Windsor, 2.1.71)<br />
<br />
Peter Stallybrass has written that “the history of printing is crucially a history of the ‘blank’” (“‘Little Jobs’: Broadsides and the Printing Revolution”). Curated by long-term fellow, [[Derek Dunne]] (University of Fribourg), this session will investigate what is at stake when early modern documents are designed for incompletion. Considering the growing bureaucracies of the time, what can we learn about authority from the way certain forms are authored in stages? Filling in the blanks is more complex than it might appear, and I want us to dwell on how empty spaces can carry meaning in a range of documents, including licences, indentures, bills of mortality and literary examples.<br />

'''March 15, 2017 - “Renaissance Vergils”''' <br />
<br />
When Shakespeare writes that Lucrece cannot “read the subtle-shining secrecies / Writ in the glassy margents of such books,” he has in mind a text with commentary—most likely, a classical text. Curated by our long-term, Folger-ACLS fellow, [[Joseph Ortiz]] (University of Texas at El Paso), this session of Material Witness touches on the myriad ways that classical texts circulated in the Renaissance, with a particular focus on Vergil. There are the usual suspects (lavish folios with copious glosses, or “margents”), but there are also less ennobling forms of transmission by which Vergil was translated, adapted, excerpted, arranged, and cut up (sometimes literally). <br />

<br />
Curated by long-term fellow, [[Jessica Goethals]] (Italian, University of Alabama), this session of Material Witness will explore the visual and textual rhetoric of continental festival books. Considering the collaborative relationship between authors, artists, printers, and patrons, we will evaluate how these illustrated printed books fused human and equestrian choreography, technology, music and meter, architecture, and materiality in order to both experience and memorialize the secular and religious spectacles of early modernity.<br />

<br />
Book: ''Cultural Graphology: Writing After Derrida''<br />
<br />
Author: [[Juliet Fleming]]<br />
<br />
Sections Read: Introduction and Chapter Two<br />
<br />
Brief Description: In this book, Juliet Fleming examines the print culture of early modern England, drastically unsettling some key assumptions of book history. Fleming shows that the single most important lesson to survive from Derrida’s early work is that we do not know what writing is. Channeling Derrida’s thought into places it has not been seen before, she examines printed errors, spaces, and ornaments (topics that have hitherto been marginal to our accounts of print culture) and excavates the long-forgotten reading practice of cutting printed books. Proposing radical deformations to the meanings of fundamental and apparently simple terms such as “error,” “letter,” “surface,” and “cut,” Fleming opens up exciting new pathways into our understanding of writing.<br />

Book: ''Disknowledge: Literature, Alchemy, and the End of Humanism in Renaissance England''<br />
<br />
Author: Katherine Eggert<br />
<br />
Sections Read: Introduction, Chapter Five, and the Afterword<br />
<br />
Brief Description: In this book, Eggert explores the crumbling state of learning in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Even as the shortcomings of Renaissance humanism became plain to see, many intellectuals of the age had little choice but to treat their familiar knowledge systems as though they still held. Humanism thus came to share the status of alchemy: a way of thinking simultaneously productive and suspect, reasonable and wrongheaded. Covering a wide range of authors and topics, ''Disknowledge'' is the first book to analyze how English Renaissance literature employed alchemy to probe the nature and limits of learning. The concept of disknowledge—willfully adhering to something we know is wrong—resonates across literary and cultural studies as an urgent issue of our own era.<br />

Book: ''The Worldmakers: Global Imagining in Early Modern Europe'' <br />
<br />
Author: Ayesha Ramachandran <br />
<br />
Sections Read: Introduction and Chapter One <br />
<br />
Brief Description: Ayesha Ramachandran’s ''The Worldmakers: Global Imagining in Early Modern Europe'', which reconstructs the imaginative struggles of early modern artists, philosophers, and writers to make sense of something that we take for granted: the world, imagined as a whole. Once a new, exciting, and frightening concept, “the world” was transformed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. But how could one envision something that no one had ever seen in its totality? The Worldmakers moves beyond histories of globalization to explore how “the world” itself—variously understood as an object of inquiry, a comprehensive category, and a system of order—was self-consciously shaped by human agents. <br />

Book: ''Shakespeare's Binding Language'' <br />
<br />
Author: John Kerrigan <br />
<br />
Sections Read: Introduction and Chapter Six <br />
<br />
Brief Description: ''Shakespeare’s Binding Language'' explores the significance in Shakespeare's plays of oaths, vows, contracts, pledges and the other utterances and acts by which characters commit themselves to the truth of things past, present, and to come. In early modern England, such binding language was everywhere. Oaths of office, marriage vows, legal bonds, and casual, everyday profanity gave shape and texture to life. The proper use of such language, and the extent of its power to bind, was argued over by lawyers, religious writers, and satirists, and these debates inform literature and drama. ''Shakespeare's Binding Language'' gives a freshly researched account of these contexts, but it is focused on the plays. What motives should we look for when characters asseverate or promise? How far is binding language self-persuasive or deceptive? When is it allowable to break a vow? How do oaths and promises structure an audience's expectations? Across the sweep of Shakespeare's career, from the early histories to the late romances, this book opens new perspectives on key dramatic moments and illuminates language and action. Each chapter gives an account of a play or group of plays, yet the study builds to a sustained investigation of some of the most important systems, institutions, and controversies in early modern England, and of the wiring of Shakespearean dramaturgy. <br />

Book: ''Queer Philologies''<br />
<br />
Author: [[Jeffrey Masten]]<br />
<br />
Sections Read: Chapter One and Chapter Two<br />
<br />
Brief Description: ''Queer Philologies'' examines particular terms that illuminate the history of sexuality in Shakespeare's time and analyzes the methods we have used to study sex and gender in literary and cultural history. Building on the work of theorists and historians who have, following Foucault, investigated the importance of words like "homosexual," "sodomy," and "tribade" in a variety of cultures and historical periods, Masten argues that just as the history of sexuality requires the history of language, so too does philology, "the love of the word," require the analytical lens provided by the study of sexuality. Analyzing the continuities as well as differences between Shakespeare's language and our own, he offers up a queer lexicon in which the letter "Q" is perhaps the queerest character of all.</div>MeredithDeeleyhttps://folgerpedia.folger.edu/_mw/index.php?title=2016-2017_Critical_Witness_Sessions&diff=249042016-2017 Critical Witness Sessions2017-04-25T19:19:30Z<p>MeredithDeeley: </p>

'''October 26, 2016 - "Unbound: Manuscript Fragments"'''<br />
<br />
Books from the handpress era were bound with an array of materials: the threads of provisional stitching, soft vellum wrappers, stiffened boards, and, quite frequently, repurposed manuscripts. Reuniting hybrid items that are now catalogued separately, in this program we will begin to construct a history of early modern book use, modern<br />
conservation, and the library’s investment in preserving its own past. Curated by [[Megan Heffernan]] (English, DePaul University), this collection-focused<br />
discussion considers manuscript fragments that have been salvaged from the<br />
bindings of printed books held at the Folger. <br />
<br />
<u>Materials Displayed:</u><br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (7):'' Lease for Nathaniel and Joane Carter<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (9 a, b) + STC 23040:'' From the accounts of Knapton Manor, formerly bound with John Speed, ''A prospect of the most famous parts of the vvorld ''(1631)<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (11 a, b) + STC 21593 + STC 20996.2, Copy 1:'' Two pieces of an indenture involving Margaret Owen and Symon Herbert. Collation notes from Giles Dawson (the Folger’s first curator of manuscripts and books) and later STC cataloguers describe how one piece was wrapped around Austin Saker’s ''Narbonus'' (1580) and the other around Barnabe Riche’s ''Riche his farewell to militarie profession ''(1583). The two books entered the Folger separately: the Saker in 1937 and the Riche in 1933. We think Laetitia Yeandle recognized and reunited the indenture after the two books were rebound in the 1960s. Last week, conservation (very helpfully!) removed the manuscript from an older mylar and board housing, exposing the offsets from the ink of other documents and a phantom STC number on the outside of the binding. The microfilm from 1952 shows evidence of the other documents wrapping the Riche.<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (28):'' Marriage settlement for Robert Metheun. Possible auction lot or shelfmark in pencil on the outside? Interesting how the corrections in the MS text aged differently.<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (29):'' Lease between Miles Hobart and Phillip Carey. On the outside of the binding, contents of 18 different pamphlets bound together as well as a pasted on label, possibly for a shelfmark.<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (30):'' Indenture (?) showing patterns of wear along the spine.<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (32):'' Indenture with evidence of being wrapped around boards and the list of contents on the back spine. Also showing signatures from witnesses on the outside.<br />
<br />
'''January 25, 2017 - "Left Behind"'''<br />
<br />
Curated by long-term fellow, [[Debapriya Sarkar]] (Hendrix College), this meeting of Material Witness will focus on early modern things, ideas, and texts that have been excised, abandoned, eliminated, and otherwise left behind – mostly within the early modern period itself, but with a glance at the ways that scholars, archivists, and curators have edited the early modern archive. Together we will examine manuscripts and print texts which will help us to think about the ways that women and men from this period winnowed through their possessions and intellectual productions: we’ll examine manuscript commonplace and recipe books (focusing on items that have many deletions and cross-outs), household inventories (which help to show how objects in the home were discarded and/or preserved), and wills (perhaps the definitive record of items an individual could choose to “leave behind” to others).<br />

'''February 9, 2017 - "500 Years of Treasures from Oxford" (Special Session)'''<br />
<br />
Our next Folger Material Witness session will be led by [[Peter Kidd]], curator of the current "500 Years of Treasures from Oxford" exhibition which goes on display on Feb. 4th at the Folger. Offering a “sneak peek” at the materials that will part of this exhibit, this meeting will focus on tracing the provenance of pre-1600 books and manuscripts. The discussion will focus less on the very obvious marks of provenance, such as bookplates and ownership inscriptions, and more about the usually-overlooked things, such as pencil annotations made by modern book dealers, which can sometimes be used to reveal a lot about a book's earlier history. As a medievalist and cataloguer, Kidd will also address problems and confusions sometimes created by the very different meanings of common terminology used by manuscript and printed book scholars, e.g. "signature," "folio," and "collation." Taken together, these revelations may help scholars and collectors alike to uncover new histories of medieval and Renaissance texts.<br />
<br />
<u>Materials Displayed:</u><br />
<br />
''V.a.83:'' De arte amandi [manuscript], ca. 1400<br />

<br />
'''February 25, 2017 - "Blanks"'''<br />
<br />
“I warrant he hath a thousand of these letters, writ with blank space for different names” (Merry Wives of Windsor, 2.1.71)<br />
<br />
Peter Stallybrass has written that “the history of printing is crucially a history of the ‘blank’” (“‘Little Jobs’: Broadsides and the Printing Revolution”). Curated by long-term fellow, [[Derek Dunne]] (University of Fribourg), this session will investigate what is at stake when early modern documents are designed for incompletion. Considering the growing bureaucracies of the time, what can we learn about authority from the way certain forms are authored in stages? Filling in the blanks is more complex than it might appear, and I want us to dwell on how empty spaces can carry meaning in a range of documents, including licences, indentures, bills of mortality and literary examples.<br />
<br />

'''March 15, 2017 - “Renaissance Vergils”''' <br />
<br />
When Shakespeare writes that Lucrece cannot “read the subtle-shining secrecies / Writ in the glassy margents of such books,” he has in mind a text with commentary—most likely, a classical text. Curated by our long-term, Folger-ACLS fellow, [[Joseph Ortiz]] (University of Texas at El Paso), this session of Material Witness touches on the myriad ways that classical texts circulated in the Renaissance, with a particular focus on Vergil. There are the usual suspects (lavish folios with copious glosses, or “margents”), but there are also less ennobling forms of transmission by which Vergil was translated, adapted, excerpted, arranged, and cut up (sometimes literally). <br />

'''April 26, 2017 - “Let the Good Times Roll: Continental Festival Books”'''<br />
<br />
Curated by long-term fellow, [[Jessica Goethals]] (Italian, University of Alabama), this session of Material Witness will explore the visual and textual rhetoric of continental festival books. Considering the collaborative relationship between authors, artists, printers, and patrons, we will evaluate how these illustrated printed books fused human and equestrian choreography, technology, music and meter, architecture, and materiality in order to both experience and memorialize the secular and religious spectacles of early modernity.<br />

'''January 25, 2017 - "Left Behind"'''<br />
<br />
Curated by long-term fellow, [[Debapriya Sarkar]] (Hendrix College), this meeting of Material Witness will focus on early modern things, ideas, and texts that have been excised, abandoned, eliminated, and otherwise left behind – mostly within the early modern period itself, but with a glance at the ways that scholars, archivists, and curators have edited the early modern archive. Together we will examine manuscripts and print texts which will help us to think about the ways that women and men from this period winnowed through their possessions and intellectual productions: we’ll examine manuscript commonplace and recipe books (focusing on items that have many deletions and cross-outs), household inventories (which help to show how objects in the home were discarded and/or preserved), and wills (perhaps the definitive record of items an individual could choose to “leave behind” to others).<br />

'''February 9, 2017 - "500 Years of Treasures from Oxford" (Special Session)'''<br />
<br />
Our next Folger Material Witness session will be led by [[Peter Kidd]], curator of the current "500 Years of Treasures from Oxford" exhibition which goes on display on Feb. 4th at the Folger. Offering a “sneak peek” at the materials that will part of this exhibit, this meeting will focus on tracing the provenance of pre-1600 books and manuscripts. The discussion will focus less on the very obvious marks of provenance, such as bookplates and ownership inscriptions, and more about the usually-overlooked things, such as pencil annotations made by modern book dealers, which can sometimes be used to reveal a lot about a book's earlier history. As a medievalist and cataloguer, Kidd will also address problems and confusions sometimes created by the very different meanings of common terminology used by manuscript and printed book scholars, e.g. "signature," "folio," and "collation." Taken together, these revelations may help scholars and collectors alike to uncover new histories of medieval and Renaissance texts.<br />

“I warrant he hath a thousand of these letters, writ with blank space for different names” (Merry Wives of Windsor, 2.1.71)<br />
<br />
Peter Stallybrass has written that “the history of printing is crucially a history of the ‘blank’” (“‘Little Jobs’: Broadsides and the Printing Revolution”). Curated by long-term fellow, [[Derek Dunne]] (University of Fribourg), this session will investigate what is at stake when early modern documents are designed for incompletion. Considering the growing bureaucracies of the time, what can we learn about authority from the way certain forms are authored in stages? Filling in the blanks is more complex than it might appear, and I want us to dwell on how empty spaces can carry meaning in a range of documents, including licences, indentures, bills of mortality and literary examples.<br />

'''March 15, 2017 - “Renaissance Vergils”''' <br />
<br />
When Shakespeare writes that Lucrece cannot “read the subtle-shining secrecies / Writ in the glassy margents of such books,” he has in mind a text with commentary—most likely, a classical text. Curated by our long-term, Folger-ACLS fellow, [[Joseph Ortiz]] (University of Texas at El Paso), this session of Material Witness touches on the myriad ways that classical texts circulated in the Renaissance, with a particular focus on Vergil. There are the usual suspects (lavish folios with copious glosses, or “margents”), but there are also less ennobling forms of transmission by which Vergil was translated, adapted, excerpted, arranged, and cut up (sometimes literally). <br />

Curated by long-term fellow, [[Jessica Goethals]] (Italian, University of Alabama), this session of Material Witness will explore the visual and textual rhetoric of continental festival books. Considering the collaborative relationship between authors, artists, printers, and patrons, we will evaluate how these illustrated printed books fused human and equestrian choreography, technology, music and meter, architecture, and materiality in order to both experience and memorialize the secular and religious spectacles of early modernity.<br />

<br />
'''October 26, 2016 - "Unbound: Manuscript Fragments"'''<br />
<br />
Books from the handpress era were bound with an array of materials: the threads of provisional stitching, soft vellum wrappers, stiffened boards, and, quite frequently, repurposed manuscripts. Reuniting hybrid items that are now catalogued separately, in this program we will begin to construct a history of early modern book use, modern<br />
conservation, and the library’s investment in preserving its own past. Curated by [[Megan Heffernan]] (English, DePaul University), this collection-focused<br />
discussion considers manuscript fragments that have been salvaged from the<br />
bindings of printed books held at the Folger. <br />
<br />
<u>Materials Displayed:</u><br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (7):'' Lease for Nathaniel and Joane Carter<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (9 a, b) + STC 23040:'' From the accounts of Knapton Manor, formerly bound with John Speed, ''A prospect of the most famous parts of the vvorld ''(1631)<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (11 a, b) + STC 21593 + STC 20996.2, Copy 1:'' Two pieces of an indenture involving Margaret Owen and Symon Herbert. Collation notes from Giles Dawson (the Folger’s first curator of manuscripts and books) and later STC cataloguers describe how one piece was wrapped around Austin Saker’s ''Narbonus'' (1580) and the other around Barnabe Riche’s ''Riche his farewell to militarie profession ''(1583). The two books entered the Folger separately: the Saker in 1937 and the Riche in 1933. We think Laetitia Yeandle recognized and reunited the indenture after the two books were rebound in the 1960s. Last week, conservation (very helpfully!) removed the manuscript from an older mylar and board housing, exposing the offsets from the ink of other documents and a phantom STC number on the outside of the binding. The microfilm from 1952 shows evidence of the other documents wrapping the Riche.<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (28):'' Marriage settlement for Robert Metheun. Possible auction lot or shelfmark in pencil on the outside? Interesting how the corrections in the MS text aged differently.<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (29):'' Lease between Miles Hobart and Phillip Carey. On the outside of the binding, contents of 18 different pamphlets bound together as well as a pasted on label, possibly for a shelfmark.<br />
<br />

<div>Founded in 1970 as a unique collaborative endeavor of the [[Folger Shakespeare Library]] and two Washington-area universities, the Folger Institute is a dedicated center for advanced study and collections-focused research in the humanities at the Folger Shakespeare Library. The Institute fosters targeted investigations of the world-class Folger collection. Through its multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural formal programs and residential research fellowships, the Institute gathers knowledge communities and establishes fresh research and teaching agendas for early modern humanities. Its advanced undergraduate program introduces students to rare materials and the research questions that can be explored with those materials. Plans are also underway to organize larger scale, collaborative research initiatives. This new aggregation was launched at the Folger in 2013. For more information, please consult [[History of the Folger Institute]].<br />
<br />
The work of the Institute in all its many parts has been generously supported by endowments from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, program and fellowship grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the sustaining memberships of the universities of the Institute's consortium, and support from a variety of other sources. The Folger Institute helps set the intellectual agenda for early modern humanities. Through their interpretations of primary source materials, its associated scholars bring to light important issues from early modernity that still resonate today.<br />
<br />
==Scholarly resources==<br />
The Institute collaborates with a number of early modern scholars around the globe. Whenever possible, the fruits of these collaborations are provided gratis in order to foster scholarly conversations. <br />

==Research fellowships==<br />
The Institute funds advanced, residential research fellowships at the Folger Shakespeare Library. The Library, which opened in 1932, offered its first fellowships in 1935; the current, more extensive, and more senior fellowships initiative had its start in 1984. The Mellon Foundation, the NEH, and the Folger support long-term fellowships. An independently awarded ACLS Burkhardt fellowship is also available annually. Several Folger endowment funds support short-term fellowships. The Folger also collaborates with the Renaissance Society of America, the Sixteenth Century Society and Conference, and the American Historical Association to offer short-term fellowships.<br />

==Scholarly Programs==<br />
Now in its fifth decade, the Institute’s consortium of member universities has grown from the local to the regional to the international; it includes more than 40 leading colleges and universities. Generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and other sources augments the consortium’s program planning. An annual slate of seminars, conferences, and workshops explores the many fields represented in the Folger Shakespeare Library collections.

===Center for Shakespeare Studies===<br />
The Center for Shakespeare Studies was founded in 1986 with an NEH grant. The Center's first premise is that no single critical approach, historical perspective, scholarly method, or pedagogical strategy can do justice to Shakespeare's texts and contexts. The Center presents and encourages a wide variety of approaches to its subject. Generous support from the NEH has funded many Center programs and ensured that the Center's reach extends to college teachers across the country. Numerous NEH summer institutes, two groundbreaking year-long performance institutes, and conferences have been among the highlights of the Center's offerings. <br />

<br />
===Center for the History of British Political Thought===<br />
In 1984, a National Endowment for the Humanities grant established the Folger Institute Center for the History of British Political Thought. In 1996, an endowment from Dr. [[Barbara Taft]] assured its future. Further gifts and a bequest from Dr. Taft have strengthened its position. Since the Center's creation by [[J.G.A. Pocock]], [[Lois G. Schwoerer]], and [[Gordon J. Schochet]], its Steering Committee has fostered a number of different agendas in British Political Thought. Through a series of carefully plotted seminars, conferences, and publications, it has re-mapped the main patterns of discourse in a major political culture over three seminal centuries. The Institute maintains a complete list of all Center programs and publications.<br />

=== Undergraduate Programs ===<br />
We expect and encourage our scholars—who are also often undergraduate professors—to bring their own and others’ Folger research findings into their classrooms. With this purpose in mind, the Institute provides [[::Category:Bibliography|bibliographies]] and [http://www.folger.edu/primary-sourcebooks-the-college-classroom primary sourcebooks], and maintains [[List of Folger Institute resources|a list of other web resources for faculty to use in teaching]]. However, undergraduate students can also access the Folger on their own. They can [[Applying for_a_reader_card#Special_permission_readers|apply for special reading privileges]] at the Folger to do their own research here. Undergraduate students can also explore the Folger and its collections through class tours and the [[Amherst fellows|Amherst Undergraduate Fellowship Program]].<br />

<br />
'''October 26, 2016 - "Unbound: Manuscript Fragments"'''<br />
<br />
Books from the handpress era were bound with an array of materials: the threads of provisional stitching, soft vellum wrappers, stiffened boards, and, quite frequently, repurposed manuscripts. Reuniting hybrid items that are now catalogued separately, in this program we will begin to construct a history of early modern book use, modern<br />
conservation, and the library’s investment in preserving its own past. Curated by [[Megan Heffernan]] (English, DePaul University), this collection-focused<br />
discussion considers manuscript fragments that have been salvaged from the<br />
bindings of printed books held at the Folger. <br />
<br />
<u>Materials Displayed:</u><br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (7):'' Lease for Nathaniel and Joane Carter<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (9 a, b) + STC 23040:'' From the accounts of Knapton Manor, formerly bound with John Speed, ''A prospect of the most famous parts of the vvorld ''(1631)<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (11 a, b) + STC 21593 + STC 20996.2, Copy 1:'' Two pieces of an indenture involving Margaret Owen and Symon Herbert. Collation notes from Giles Dawson (the Folger’s first curator of manuscripts and books) and later STC cataloguers describe how one piece was wrapped around Austin Saker’s ''Narbonus'' (1580) and the other around Barnabe Riche’s ''Riche his farewell to militarie profession ''(1583). The two books entered the Folger separately: the Saker in 1937 and the Riche in 1933. We think Laetitia Yeandle recognized and reunited the indenture after the two books were rebound in the 1960s. Last week, conservation (very helpfully!) removed the manuscript from an older mylar and board housing, exposing the offsets from the ink of other documents and a phantom STC number on the outside of the binding. The microfilm from 1952 shows evidence of the other documents wrapping the Riche.<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (28):'' Marriage settlement for Robert Metheun. Possible auction lot or shelfmark in pencil on the outside? Interesting how the corrections in the MS text aged differently.<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (29):'' Lease between Miles Hobart and Phillip Carey. On the outside of the binding, contents of 18 different pamphlets bound together as well as a pasted on label, possibly for a shelfmark.<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (30):'' Indenture (?) showing patterns of wear along the spine.<br />
<br />
''X.d.515 (32):'' Indenture with evidence of being wrapped around boards and the list of contents on the back spine. Also showing signatures from witnesses on the outside.<br />
<br />
'''January 25, 2017 - "Left Behind"'''<br />
<br />
Curated by long-term fellow, [[Debapriya Sarkar]] (Hendrix College), this meeting of Material Witness will focus on early modern things, ideas, and texts that have been excised, abandoned, eliminated, and otherwise left behind – mostly within the early modern period itself, but with a glance at the ways that scholars, archivists, and curators have edited the early modern archive. Together we will examine manuscripts and print texts which will help us to think about the ways that women and men from this period winnowed through their possessions and intellectual productions: we’ll examine manuscript commonplace and recipe books (focusing on items that have many deletions and cross-outs), household inventories (which help to show how objects in the home were discarded and/or preserved), and wills (perhaps the definitive record of items an individual could choose to “leave behind” to others).<br />

'''February 9, 2017 - "500 Years of Treasures from Oxford" (Special Session)'''<br />
<br />
Our next Folger Material Witness session will be led by [[Peter Kidd]], curator of the current "500 Years of Treasures from Oxford" exhibition which goes on display on Feb. 4th at the Folger. Offering a “sneak peek” at the materials that will part of this exhibit, this meeting will focus on tracing the provenance of pre-1600 books and manuscripts. The discussion will focus less on the very obvious marks of provenance, such as bookplates and ownership inscriptions, and more about the usually-overlooked things, such as pencil annotations made by modern book dealers, which can sometimes be used to reveal a lot about a book's earlier history. As a medievalist and cataloguer, Kidd will also address problems and confusions sometimes created by the very different meanings of common terminology used by manuscript and printed book scholars, e.g. "signature," "folio," and "collation." Taken together, these revelations may help scholars and collectors alike to uncover new histories of medieval and Renaissance texts.<br />

'''February 25, 2017 - "Blank Space"'''<br />
<br />
“I warrant he hath a thousand of these letters, writ with blank space for different names” (Merry Wives of Windsor, 2.1.71)<br />
<br />
Peter Stallybrass has written that “the history of printing is crucially a history of the ‘blank’” (“‘Little Jobs’: Broadsides and the Printing Revolution”). Curated by long-term fellow, [[Derek Dunne]] (University of Fribourg), this session will investigate what is at stake when early modern documents are designed for incompletion. Considering the growing bureaucracies of the time, what can we learn about authority from the way certain forms are authored in stages? Filling in the blanks is more complex than it might appear, and I want us to dwell on how empty spaces can carry meaning in a range of documents, including licences, indentures, bills of mortality and literary examples.<br />

'''March 15, 2017 - “Renaissance Vergils”''' <br />
<br />
When Shakespeare writes that Lucrece cannot “read the subtle-shining secrecies / Writ in the glassy margents of such books,” he has in mind a text with commentary—most likely, a classical text. Curated by our long-term, Folger-ACLS fellow, [[Joseph Ortiz]] (University of Texas at El Paso), this session of Material Witness touches on the myriad ways that classical texts circulated in the Renaissance, with a particular focus on Vergil. There are the usual suspects (lavish folios with copious glosses, or “margents”), but there are also less ennobling forms of transmission by which Vergil was translated, adapted, excerpted, arranged, and cut up (sometimes literally). <br />
<br />

<br />
'''April 26, 2017 - “Let the Good Times Roll: Continental Festival Books”'''<br />
<br />
Curated by long-term fellow, [[Jessica Goethals]] (Italian, University of Alabama), this session of Material Witness will explore the visual and textual rhetoric of continental festival books. Considering the collaborative relationship between authors, artists, printers, and patrons, we will evaluate how these illustrated printed books fused human and equestrian choreography, technology, music and meter, architecture, and materiality in order to both experience and memorialize the secular and religious spectacles of early modernity.<br />

Considering the collaborative relationship between authors, artists, printers, and patrons, we will evaluate how these illustrated printed books fused human and equestrian choreography, technology, music and meter, architecture, and materiality in order to both experience and memorialize the secular and religious spectacles of early modernity.<br />

<div>Below are the descriptions for the Material Witness sessions that took place during the 2016–2017 academic year. These include the fellow who curated the session as well as the list of items that were displayed.<br />
<br />
'''January 25, 2017 - "Left Behind"'''<br />
Curated by long-term fellow, [[Debapriya Sarkar]] (Hendrix College), this meeting of Material Witness will focus on early modern things, ideas, and texts that have been excised, abandoned, eliminated, and otherwise left behind – mostly within the early modern period itself, but with a glance at the ways that scholars, archivists, and curators have edited the early modern archive. Together we will examine manuscripts and print texts which will help us to think about the ways that women and men from this period winnowed through their possessions and intellectual productions: we’ll examine manuscript commonplace and recipe books (focusing on items that have many deletions and cross-outs), household inventories (which help to show how objects in the home were discarded and/or preserved), and wills (perhaps the definitive record of items an individual could choose to “leave behind” to others).<br />

'''February 9, 2017 - "500 Years of Treasures from Oxford" (Special Session)'''<br />
Our next Folger Material Witness session will be led by [[Peter Kidd]], curator of the current "500 Years of Treasures from Oxford" exhibition which goes on display on Feb. 4th at the Folger. Offering a “sneak peek” at the materials that will part of this exhibit, this meeting will focus on tracing the provenance of pre-1600 books and manuscripts. The discussion will focus less on the very obvious marks of provenance, such as bookplates and ownership inscriptions, and more about the usually-overlooked things, such as pencil annotations made by modern book dealers, which can sometimes be used to reveal a lot about a book's earlier history. As a medievalist and cataloguer, Kidd will also address problems and confusions sometimes created by the very different meanings of common terminology used by manuscript and printed book scholars, e.g. "signature," "folio," and "collation." Taken together, these revelations may help scholars and collectors alike to uncover new histories of medieval and Renaissance texts.<br />

'''February 25, 2017 - "Blank Space"'''<br />
“I warrant he hath a thousand of these letters, writ with blank space for different names” (Merry Wives of Windsor, 2.1.71)<br />
<br />
Peter Stallybrass has written that “the history of printing is crucially a history of the ‘blank’” (“‘Little Jobs’: Broadsides and the Printing Revolution”). Curated by long-term fellow, [[Derek Dunne]] (University of Fribourg), this session will investigate what is at stake when early modern documents are designed for incompletion. Considering the growing bureaucracies of the time, what can we learn about authority from the way certain forms are authored in stages? Filling in the blanks is more complex than it might appear, and I want us to dwell on how empty spaces can carry meaning in a range of documents, including licences, indentures, bills of mortality and literary examples.<br />

<br />
'''March 15, 2017 - “Renaissance Vergils”'''<br />
When Shakespeare writes that Lucrece cannot “read the subtle-shining secrecies / Writ in the glassy margents of such books,” he has in mind a text with commentary—most likely, a classical text. Curated by our long-term, Folger-ACLS fellow, [[Joseph Ortiz]] (University of Texas at El Paso), this session of Material Witness touches on the myriad ways that classical texts circulated in the Renaissance, with a particular focus on Vergil. There are the usual suspects (lavish folios with copious glosses, or “margents”), but there are also less ennobling forms of transmission by which Vergil was translated, adapted, excerpted, arranged, and cut up (sometimes literally). <br />

'''April 26, 2017 - “Let the Good Times Roll: Continental Festival Books”'''<br />
Curated by long-term fellow, [[Jessica Goethals]] (Italian, University of Alabama), this session of Material Witness will explore the visual and textual rhetoric of continental festival books. Considering the collaborative relationship between authors, artists, printers, and patrons, we will evaluate how these illustrated printed books fused human and equestrian choreography, technology, music and meter, architecture, and materiality in order to both experience and memorialize the secular and religious spectacles of early modernity.<br />

<div>A [[Folger Institute]] Fellowships program introduced in the 2016-2017 fellowships year. This program is designed to bring our fellows-in-residence into conversation with DC-and-Baltimore-area scholars. This “source talk” program allows us to consider the promises and challenges of working with a body of rare materials from the Folger collections. Organized by Asst. Director for Fellowships [[Amanda E. Herbert]], and in collaboration with Curators [[Heather Wolfe]] and [[Caroline Duroselle-Melish]], Folger Fellows are invited to curate a group of six to ten rare books, manuscripts, works of art, or historical objects for an hour of open discussion and study of these materials in situ, followed Folger tea. <br />

<div> [[File:Macro Manuscripts.jpg|right|thumb|300px]] <br />
Among the Folger's priceless manuscript treasures are the famous Macro plays,<br />
which contain the full texts of three of the four surviving morality plays written in English before 1500. Two of these plays, ''The Castle of Perseverance'' and ''Mankind'', are known only through the Macro Manuscripts now at the Folger Shakespeare Library, while a fragmentary version<br />
of ''Wisdom'' also exists in a Digby Manuscript at the Bodleian Library. ''The Castle of Perseverance'' is the earliest complete extant English morality play. <br />
<br />
Without these humble manuscripts, totalling seventy-five leaves, we would<br />
know little about the once flourishing genre of English morality plays. The<br />
last page of ''The Castle of Perseverance'', for example, provides the earliest known stage diagram for an English play. The bottom right corner of the last page of ''Wisdom ''contains the statement of the scribe, a monk Thomas Hyngham, which in English reads: "O book, if anyone should . . . ask to whom you belong, you shall say, I belong above all to monk Hyngham." <br />
<br />
==Provenance==<br />
The three plays were transcribed as separate manuscripts. Regional dialects and references to place names scattered throughout the plays suggest that all three originate from the East Midlands, particularly Norfolk and Suffolk. The Macro Manuscript’s copy of ''The Castle of Perseverance'' was transcribed by an unknown hand around 1440. The two later plays, ''Mankind'' and ''Wisdom'', were transcribed by the Monk Thomas Hyngman in the mid 1460s. <br />
<br />
In the early 18th century, Reverend Cox Macro acquired all three individual manuscripts and bound them together along with three other non-dramatic manuscripts. 19th century owner Hudson Gurney separated the three Macro plays from the rest of the miscellany. The three plays were first published together as a set in Furnivall’s edition of 1882. <br />
<br />
In 1936, the Folger purchased the Macro Manuscript at a Sotheby’s auction for 440 pounds. <br />
<br />
In 2016, Richard Beadle published the article, "Macro MS 5: A Historical Reconstruction." In this article, Richard Beadle reconstructs the sequence of components in “Macro MS 5,” which students of English drama may recognize as a bibliographical descriptor of a bound volume that contained three valuable early English morality plays, but which Beadle reminds us was “a composite volume of some complexity” (66). For the morality plays, now at the Folger, and known as the “Macro plays,” were only three components of a bound volume of disparate manuscripts. The other components included Juvenal’s ''Satires'', a twelfth-century manuscript of Anglo-Saxon laws, and several scientific and pseudo-scientific Latin texts. These manuscripts are now dispersed among no fewer than four<br />
institutions—Downside Abbey, John Rylands Library, UCLA, and the Folger. See below for full reference. <br />
<br />
==Plays==<br />
<br />
===The Castle of Perseverance===<br />
References in ''The Castle of Perseverance'' to “crakows” (an early 15th-century shoe fashion with pointed toes) indicate that the play was written between 1400 and 1425, making it the earliest complete extant English morality play. Although it is the earliest play of the three, ''Castle'', is the third play in the Macro manuscript, in folios 154-191. The play contains nearly 3,700 lines, with 38 extant leaves – two gatherings of 16 leaves and a third gathering of six leaves. Evidence of two missing leaves suggests that there are around 100 lines that have been lost. Some scholars argue that the play may have had multiple authors, due to differences in style, rhyme scheme, and stanza pattern between the banns. <br />
<br />
===Mankind===<br />
The manuscript is composed of thirteen leaves. The play was performed by groups of traveling players for a paying audience. The cast is considerably smaller than that of ''The Castle'' or ''Wisdom'', requiring as few as six players to perform. The play has been noted for its low tone, bawdy humor, and the relatively colloquial language used throughout. The play is the first known play to mention money collection, so scholars have suggested that the tone of the play was meant to appeal to broader audiences. <br />
<br />
===Wisdom===<br />
Also known as ''Mind, Will, and Understanding'', two quires of twelve leaves each make up the manuscript.. While the play in its complete form is known only through the Macro Manuscript, fragments of the play are preserved in a Digby Manuscript at the Bodleian Library (MS Digby 133). Scholars disagree on the number of players required to perform the play, varying from over twenty to as few as twelve.<br />

<div>Founded in 1970 as a unique collaborative endeavor of the [[Folger Shakespeare Library]] and two Washington-area universities, the Folger Institute is a dedicated center for advanced study and collections-focused research in the humanities at the Folger Shakespeare Library. The Institute fosters targeted investigations of the world-class Folger collection. Through its multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural formal programs and residential research fellowships, the Institute gathers knowledge communities and establishes fresh research and teaching agendas for early modern humanities. Its advanced undergraduate program introduces students to rare materials and the research questions that can be explored with those materials. Plans are also underway to organize larger scale, collaborative research initiatives. This new aggregation was launched at the Folger in 2013. For more information, please consult [[History of the Folger Institute]].<br />
<br />
The work of the Institute in all its many parts has been generously supported by endowments from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, program and fellowship grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the sustaining memberships of the universities of the Institute's consortium, and support from a variety of other sources. The Folger Institute helps set the intellectual agenda for early modern humanities. Through their interpretations of primary source materials, its associated scholars bring to light important issues from early modernity that still resonate today.<br />
<br />
==Scholarly resources==<br />
The Institute collaborates with a number of early modern scholars around the globe. Whenever possible, the fruits of these collaborations are provided gratis in order to foster scholarly conversations. <br />

==Research fellowships==<br />
The Institute funds advanced, residential research fellowships at the Folger Shakespeare Library. The Library, which opened in 1932, offered its first fellowships in 1935; the current, more extensive, and more senior fellowships initiative had its start in 1984. The Mellon Foundation, the NEH, and the Folger support long-term fellowships. An independently awarded ACLS Burkhardt fellowship is also available annually. Several Folger endowment funds support short-term fellowships. The Folger also collaborates with the Renaissance Society of America, the Sixteenth Century Society and Conference, and the American Historical Association to offer short-term fellowships.<br />

==Scholarly Programs==<br />
Now in its fifth decade, the Institute’s consortium of member universities has grown from the local to the regional to the international; it includes more than 40 leading colleges and universities. Generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and other sources augments the consortium’s program planning. An annual slate of seminars, conferences, and workshops explores the many fields represented in the Folger Shakespeare Library collections. Specialized Centers for the Study of Shakespeare and the History of British Political Thought focus programming in those fields.<br />

===Center for Shakespeare Studies===<br />
The Center for Shakespeare Studies was founded in 1986 with an NEH grant. The Center's first premise is that no single critical approach, historical perspective, scholarly method, or pedagogical strategy can do justice to Shakespeare's texts and contexts. The Center presents and encourages a wide variety of approaches to its subject. Generous support from the NEH has funded many Center programs and ensured that the Center's reach extends to college teachers across the country. Numerous NEH summer institutes, two groundbreaking year-long performance institutes, and conferences have been among the highlights of the Center's offerings. <br />

===Center for the History of British Political Thought===<br />
In 1984, a National Endowment for the Humanities grant established the Folger Institute Center for the History of British Political Thought. In 1996, an endowment from Dr. [[Barbara Taft]] assured its future. Further gifts and a bequest from Dr. Taft have strengthened its position. Since the Center's creation by [[J.G.A. Pocock]], [[Lois G. Schwoerer]], and [[Gordon J. Schochet]], its Steering Committee has fostered a number of different agendas in British Political Thought. Through a series of carefully plotted seminars, conferences, and publications, it has re-mapped the main patterns of discourse in a major political culture over three seminal centuries. The Institute maintains a complete list of all Center programs and publications.<br />

=== Undergraduate Programs ===<br />
We expect and encourage our scholars—who are also often undergraduate professors—to bring their own and others’ Folger research findings into their classrooms. With this purpose in mind, the Institute provides [[::Category:Bibliography|bibliographies]] and [http://www.folger.edu/primary-sourcebooks-the-college-classroom primary sourcebooks], and maintains [[List of Folger Institute resources|a list of other web resources for faculty to use in teaching]]. However, undergraduate students can also access the Folger on their own. They can [[Applying for_a_reader_card#Special_permission_readers|apply for special reading privileges]] at the Folger to do their own research here. Undergraduate students can also explore the Folger and its collections through class tours and the [[Amherst fellows|Amherst Undergraduate Fellowship Program]].<br />

<div>== Cooperative Publishing Agreement ==<br />
In 2015, The [[Folger Shakespeare Library]] and the [http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/ University of Pennsylvania Press] established a formal publishing agreement. The press will publish several volumes a year that arise from activities at the Folger Shakespeare Library with a title page notice that the volume is published “in cooperation with Folger Shakespeare Library.” Those with relevant monographs or essay collections emerging from Folger research or programming should bring them to the attention of their contact at the Folger; either of the Folger Institute’s Assistant Directors would be happy to advise: [mailto:aherbert@folger.edu Amanda Herbert] (Fellowships) or [mailto:owilliams@folger.edu Owen Williams] (Scholarly Programs). <br />
<br />
We expect many such volumes to emerge from work substantially shaped by [[Folger Institute]] sponsorship—whether as a research fellow or a member of a scholarly program. The topics and methodological approaches can be as broad as those of the collections and research activities of the Folger itself. The agreement is non-exclusive and the editorial review process is overseen entirely by the University of Pennsylvania Press. <br />
<br />
A growing list of publications is resulting from this agreement. Titles include:<br />
<br />
:[[Katherine Eggert]], ''Disknowledge: Literature, Alchemy, and the End of Humanism in Renaissance England'' (2015). Eggert worked on the project as an Andrew W. Mellon long-term fellow at the Folger in 2007-08.<br />
<br />
:[[Karen Newman]] and [[Jane Tylus]], eds., ''Early Modern Cultures of Translation'' (2015). Newman and Tylus co-organized a Folger Institute conference on “Early Modern Translation: Theory, History, Practice” in 2011.<br />
<br />
''Forthcoming:''<br />
<br />
:[[Musa Gurnis]], “Heterodox Drama: Theater in Post-Reformation London,” a project Gurnis worked on as a Folger short-term fellow in 2014-15.<br />
<br />
:[[Kristen Poole]] and [[Owen Williams]], eds., ''Periodization and “Early Modern” English Temporalities: Reimagining Chronology through 16<sup>th</sup>- and 17<sup>th</sup>-century Habits of Thought''. The two co-organized a fall 2015 Folger Institute symposium on “Periodization and its Discontents: Medieval and Early Modern Pathways in Literature.” <br />
<br />
We are proud of the central role that research at the Folger plays in so much influential scholarly writing, and we are delighted to partner with the University of Pennsylvania Press in this important endeavor.</div>MeredithDeeleyhttps://folgerpedia.folger.edu/_mw/index.php?title=Folger_Shakespeare_Library_and_University_of_Pennsylvania_Press&diff=23744Folger Shakespeare Library and University of Pennsylvania Press2016-12-08T17:49:48Z<p>MeredithDeeley: Changed heading type</p>
