As a research fellow with Colonial Williamsburg, I have a home in the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Research Library to continue my dissertation research. The fellowship allows me access to their stacks and special collections, as well as a community of scholars and librarians dedicated to study of the American past. I will be invited to attend all the research talks, colloquia, and so on that happen at the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and at the College of William and Mary. The appointment for this fellowship is through the end of May 2011, with the option to extend it as needed. In all, this is an unbelievable opportunity that will help me a significantly with my research.
