The Historic New Orleans Collection is now accepting applications for the 2016/17 Woest Fellowship. The fellowship supports scholarly research on the history and culture of Louisiana and the Gulf South. While THNOC resources should play a central role in the proposed research agenda, fellows are also encouraged to explore other research facilities in the Greater New Orleans area.

The Woest Fellowship is open to doctoral candidates, academic and museum professionals, and independent scholars. U.S. citizenship is not required, but applicants should be fluent in English. Fellows will be expected to acknowledge The Collection in any published work drawing on fellowship research. Applicants are considered without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, disability, or any other protected status.

Stipend: The fellowship carries a stipend of $4,000 per month for a maximum of three months. Fellows may select their period(s) of residence, but all research must commence and conclude during the specified fellowship term (April 1, 2015–March 31, 2016).
