Syracuse University Libraries’ Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) is accepting proposals now through May 25, 2025, for two Faculty Fellows for the 2026-2027 academic year. The SCRC Faculty Fellows Program provides a $5,000 fellowship payment, pedagogical guidance in centering archival and special collections, and ongoing class support for those interested in providing students with an experiential learning opportunity by incorporating primary source materials as central to their course. Applications are being accepted for the development or revision of a three-credit course to be taught in the Fall 2026 or Spring 2027 semester from any discipline on campus.

Syracuse University Libraries’ SCRC Faculty Fellows Program aims to support innovative curriculum development and foster new ideas about how to transform the role of special collections and archival research in university instruction. During the four-week summer residency, each Fellow receives expert guidance through workshops and training sessions on handling special collections materials, teaching students how to research within and across collections and designing hands-on, individualized, creative and critically minded assignments with rare materials.

SCRC’s primary sources span over 4,000 years–from the 21st century BCE to the 21st century CE–and represent an array of topics, perspectives relevant to the study of human culture and knowledge. They include various formats, including written and printed material, art, architecture and design and music and recorded sound. Engaging with SCRC’s rare and archival collections allows students, faculty and researchers to explore and question historical evidence and testimonies while connecting with the innovative and enduring ways people have communicated, documented their experiences and recorded personal memories throughout history.

For questions or additional information about the SCRC Faculty Fellows Program, contact Jana Rosinski, SCRC Instruction and Education Librarian, at jrosinsk@syr.edu. See the website for more information on the SCRC Faculty Fellows Program.

George Bain G’06, a member of the Library Associates, and William F. Gaske ’72, a member of the Libraries Advisory Board, provided generous gift funding towards the SCRC Faculty Fellows Program. The original funding for the program was made possible through the generosity of the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, which promotes the advancement and perpetuation of humanistic inquiry and artistic creativity by encouraging excellence in scholarship and in the performing arts, and by supporting research libraries and other institutions that transmit our cultural heritage. For more information about how to financially support a faculty fellow for the upcoming academic year and beyond, contact Ron Thiele Assistant Dean for Advancement for the Libraries, at rlthiele@syr.edu or 315.560.9419.
