Maine History Archives Travel Grant

Sponsored by Fogler Library, University of Maine

Fogler Library is pleased to offer this grant to researchers seeking to view items in our Special Collections for scholarly use. Applications are accepted on an annual basis. Applicants will be asked to provide a timeline for their visit as well as a project narrative describing the end product they hope to achieve with their research. You must be 18 years of age to apply.

Grants are awarded up to $3,000 to reimburse costs incurred for travel including lodging, transportation, and meals. Those awarded the grant will have access to Fogler’s Special Collections during regular hours. The purpose of this grant is to facilitate the use of our materials so they might contribute to current studies.

At the end of their visit, grant recipients will give a presentation or provide a report of their experience to be published in the Fogler Library newsletters.

You’ll find the application form here. This year’s application deadline is March 31, 2025. The committee expects to have a decision by May 1, 2025. If you have any questions, please reach out to Greg Curtis at gregory.t.curtis@maine.edu.
