The East Asian Library at the University of Pittsburgh is
pleased to announce its 2016 travel grants. These grants are made available
through special funding from the Asian Studies Center at the University of
Pittsburgh. The purpose of the grants is to support scholars who wish to do
research at the East Asian Library, University of Pittsburgh. The grants will
be available up to $500 for each candidate depending on the need and the
location of the individual. Special consideration will be given to those
researchers in Pennsylvania and the nearby region whose libraries have no major
East Asian collections, and without receiving such grants previously.
The East Asian Library at Pitt consists of over 490,000
volumes/items in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English. The primary focus of
the collections is on humanities and social sciences. For further information
about the East Asian Library and its collections, please visit our website at http://www.library.pitt.edu/eal-collections-resources.
Applications received before May 31 will receive priority
consideration. To apply, please send a letter of application with a brief
description of your research topic, a curriculum vitae, the type/subject of
materials you need, and an estimated budget to Haihui Zhang, Head of the East
Asian Library at haihuiz@pitt.edu.
