Teaching fellows will present the lesson plan for teaching with primary sources that they devise during the workshop portion of their fellowship.

We look forward to welcoming this year’s fellows into our community of users and to our campus. At the close of their residency, research fellows will discuss their visit and their discoveries in the Wilson Library Research Forum. The fellowship will help them build skills in teaching with empathy, creativity, and critical approaches, and they will learn from leaders in the field of teaching with primary sources. Our eight teaching fellows represent great potential as instruction librarians and archivists, with aspirations to teach students in a wide range of learning settings. We are also delighted to welcome our second cohort of Primary Sources Teaching Fellows. All 24 of this year’s research fellows have crafted exciting and innovative research proposals that demonstrate a deep and compelling need for sustained engagement with our collections. We congratulate awardees for our established research awards: Southern Studies Doctoral Fellowships, Visiting Researcher Fellowships (formerly titled Summer Visiting Research Fellowships), and Rare Book Fellowships. The Wilson Special Collections Library is pleased to announce the 2023 cohort of Wilson Library Fellows.
