Opportunity Summary:
The Historical Editing Fellowships opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FELLOWSHIP 201010) is a discretionary grant program offered through the National Archives and Records Administration, via the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). Its core purpose is to place a Historical Documentary Editing Fellow at an established, NHPRC-supported documentary publications project so the fellow can receive structured, real-world training in the methods and professional workflow of historical documentary editing. Rather than funding an individual applicant directly, the program funds the host institution, which is responsible for recruiting, selecting, and hiring the fellow and then providing day-to-day mentorship and supervision within an active editing project environment.
The fellowship is aimed at strengthening the professional pipeline for documentary editors by ensuring that recent History Ph.D. recipients or advanced graduate students gain hands-on exposure to the skills, standards, and career paths associated with historical editing. The host institution must be able to demonstrate that it can deliver strong postgraduate training across the full range of documentary editing activities. The announcement specifically highlights training components such as document collection and accessioning, intellectual control, selection, transcription, annotation, proofreading, indexing, the preparation of digital editions, and overall project management. In practice, this means the host needs both the editorial infrastructure and experienced staff to teach the fellow how to move historical documents from discovery and acquisition through editorial preparation and publication, including the increasingly important digital production side.
Funding details indicate an anticipated total of two awards, with an award ceiling of $60,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. While the primary use of funds is to support the fellowship placement and training experience, the host institution is permitted to use a limited portion of the award for recruitment-related costs and to provide the fellow with travel and educational opportunities that strengthen their professional development, such as attending conferences, workshops, or other relevant training activities. The program sits within the humanities funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 89.003 (National Historical Publications and Records Grants).
Eligibility is broad across government, higher education, and nonprofit sectors, as long as the applicant is positioned to host the fellow within an active NHPRC-supported publications project. Eligible applicants include private and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The key practical qualifier embedded in the description is that the applicant should already be an active NHPRC-supported publications project capable of providing robust editorial training and professional supervision.
Key dates from the announcement show it was posted on June 2, 2010, with an application deadline (current and original closing date) of October 7, 2010, and an archive date of November 6, 2010. Applicants are directed to consult the full announcement for additional requirements, and those unable to access it electronically are instructed to contact Tim Connelly, Director for Publications, for assistance.
