The John W. Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising & Marketing History, part of the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library of Duke University, announces the availability of grants for researchers whose work would benefit from access to the library’s archival and rare printed collections.
The Hartman Center holds an extensive collection of over 3,000,000 items — correspondence, publications, advertisements, photographs, slides, films, books and serials — that document the history of advertising, sales, and marketing over the past two centuries. In addition to the J. Walter Thompson (JWT) Company Archives, the most comprehensive historical record of any advertising agency, the Center contains the collections of other key companies, organizations, and individuals in the dynamic fields of advertising, marketing and sales.
The grants available through the Hartman Center include general Travel to Collection grants of up to $750 for the use of any Hartman Center collections. Additionally, up to 3 JWT Research Fellowships are available. Each Fellow will receive a stipend of $1000 during his or her stay in Durham. Fellowships are available to researchers planning to spend a minimum of two weeks at Duke doing research that focuses on the JWT Company Archives.
The deadline for application is January 30th, 2009. For more information, and the application form, please visit the following website:
