The New York Public Library LGBT Visiting Scholars Program
Martin Duberman Visiting Scholars

Each year, The New York Public Library provides stipends for up to three
Martin Duberman Visiting Scholars. The stipends support travel to New York
City and related expenses to do research in the Library’s premier LGBT
(Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) history collections. The travel
grants awarded range from $1,000 to $8,500. The program is limited to
emerging scholars—those without permanent academic appointments—or those
who are unaffiliated with an academic institution. Recipients must supply a
written summary of their findings upon completion of their work. Interested
applicants should send a 3-5 page research proposal specifying the relevant
collections at the Library for their project, a draft budget and itinerary
for their planned trip, a CV, and an appropriate letter of recommendation.
Applications should be sent to Jason Baumann, The New York Public Library,
Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, New York, NY
10018. Applications must be received by March 1. Notice of awards will be
sent beginning March 31.

The Martin Duberman Visiting Scholars are funded by the generous support of
Martin Duberman and Eli Zal.

If you have any questions about the program or the Library’s collections,
