The American Antiquarian Society (AAS) is accepting applications for the Scholars’ Workshop in Early African American Print. Led by Dr. Tara Bynum (University of Iowa), this five-day, in-person workshop is open to graduate students and early career scholars specializing in pre-1900 African American history and culture. Participants will work closely with primary sources at AAS and refine works in progress―whether a dissertation or book chapter, journal article, or related scholarly project.
Designed for scholars new to archival research, the workshop includes professional development opportunities and direct access to AAS’s extensive collection of early African American newspapers, pamphlets, books, manuscripts, and other primary sources.
The Scholars’ Workshop will be held January 11-15, 2027. The workshop is tuition-free. Onsite housing and travel stipends will be provided to admitted participants.
