Hi zine friends! Please share with folks who might be interested-this is the full announcement for our travel grant program. I'm sharing it here because the Sallie Bingham Center's zine collections<https://guides.library.duke.edu/zines/collections> are eligible for the grant if your project is related to women's history, feminism, gender, LGBTQ history, or something along those lines. There may be other research areas of interest to you and your communities. You do not have to be an "academic" to apply! -- The David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library is now accepting applications for the 2026 - 2027 Research Travel Grant Programs, offering awards of up to $1,500 to support research projects associated with the following collecting Centers, subject areas, and collection holdings: * Archive of Documentary Arts * Doris Duke Foundation Travel Grant * Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick Travel Grant * Harry H. Harkins, Jr. T'73 Travel Grant for LGBTQ History Research * History of Medicine Collections * Human Rights Archive * John Hope Franklin Research Center for African and African American History * John W. Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising & Marketing History * Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture (Mary Lily Research Grants) Anyone whose research would be supported by resources from the Rubenstein Library's research centers is eligible to apply. We encourage applications from students at any level of education; faculty and teachers; visual and performing artists; writers; filmmakers; public historians; and independent researchers. (Applicants must reside beyond a 100-mile radius of Durham, N.C., and may not be current Duke students or employees.) An online information session will be held Wednesday, January 14, 2026, 2-3 PM EST. This program will review application requirements, offer tips for creating a successful application, and include an opportunity for attendees to ask questions of staff involved with the travel grant program. This information session will be recorded and posted online afterwards. Register for the session<https://duke.zoom.us/meeting/register/AIxIGu7cSpy_FQ3hH871-w>. The deadline for application will be Friday, February 27, at 8:00 PM EST. Decisions will be announced by the end of April 2026 for travel during May 2026 - June 2027. Awards are paid as reimbursements for personal expenses after completion of the research visit(s).
