Scholarship Description

The O’Donnell Fellowship commemorates the donation to Newman College, University of Melbourne, of the personal library Nicholas Michael O’Donnell (1862-1920). This collection of books, pamphlets and manuscripts, many in the Irish language, was presented in 1924 and has been augmented with further donations and acquisitions relating to Ireland. The collection include many 19th-century Irish histories and Irish-language publications, plus two 19th-century manuscripts. The Fellowship is offered for 6 weeks (Jan 4 - Feb 12, 2010), accommodation is provided. It aims to promote the O’Donnell library to a research audience; add value to the library by encouraging scholarship based around it; support scholars especially in Irish Diaspora Studies and Irish History; strengthen ties between the Centre and the Irish Studies community. Fellowship applications should address ways in which the library could be used to further a research project upon which the applicant is engaged.
