Call for applications
The Historical Library of the Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library at Yale University is pleased to announce its third annual Stanley B. Burns M.D. Fellowship for the Study of Medical Photographic History, which supports the study of the history of medical photography at Yale, maximizing the research potential of the Stanley B. Burns, MD, Historic Medical Photography Collection and related visual collections at the Medical Historical Library.
Burns—an ophthalmologist, research professor of Medicine and Psychiatry, and professor of Medical Humanities at New York University—began collecting historic photography in 1975 and amassed more than a million images that he curated in multiple books, articles, and exhibitions.
There is a single award of up to $2,000 for one week of research during the academic fiscal year July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026. Funds may be used for transportation, housing, food, and photographic reproductions. The award is limited to residents of the United States and Canada. Applicants should send a completed application form, including a curriculum vitae and a description of the project including the relevance of the collections of the Historical Library to the project, and two references attesting to the particular project. Preference will be given to applicants beyond commuting distance to the Historical Library. Applications are due by April 27th, 2025 at midnight. An application form can be found on our website: https://library.medicine.yale.edu/historical/research/fellowships-grants/burns-fellowship.
Applications are welcome both from scholars who utilize traditional methods of archival and bibliographic research and also from those who pursue creative, interdisciplinary, and nontraditional approaches to conducting research.
