Program History
The program began in 1996 during Richard Kuhta's tenure as the Folger Librarian. At its inception, only two to three fellowships were awarded annually through funds provided by the Friends of the Amherst College Library, but the number rose to as many as six in 2011. The program was originally run through the Central Library division of the Folger, but joined the Folger Institute branch in 2014. As a result of this transition, the program now includes a short, intensive seminar in addition to individual research time which focuses on an introduction to book history and the examination of the form of materials as well as their content. 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.
