Research Colloquia Series

This page is currently under construction.

The Research Colloquia is part of a series of Fellowship Programs at the Folger Institute. Designed to fall during the end of each fellow’s period of residence, these hour-long conversations allow the Folger’s cohort of Long-Term Fellows to reflect on their time at the Folger and to share their discoveries, work, and insights with the wider Folger community.

All colloquia begin at 12:00pm and end at 1:00pm. Please feel free to bring your lunch. Coffee and tea will be provided. The Board Room is located at 201 East Capitol Street SE. The Foulke Conference Room is located at 301 East Capitol Street SE.
