The Scholars in Residence Program supports short-term, full-time research and study in collections maintained by the Pennsylvania State Archives.
The Scholars in Residence Program has a four-fold purpose:
- to promote the interpretation of Pennsylvania history;
- to encourage research that draws upon the Pennsylvania State Archives' collections;
- to promote the dissemination of research findings to both the professional community of scholars and the public; and
- to develop collegial relationships between scholars and Archives' staff.
Stipends are awarded for a period of up to four consecutive weeks at the rate of $800 per week.
