Roxane Debuisson Program Details
Deadline for Applications: March 15, 2026
Applicants are encouraged to submit their transcript, CV, one letter of recommendation, and a statement outlining how the experience of archival work in the Debuisson Collection will advance their training as a scholar and researcher. All applications must be submitted using Slideroom.
Overview
The annual fellowship will provide funding to a Stanford graduate student to improve access and knowledge about the Roxane Debuisson Collection on Paris History.
The Collection was acquired by the Libraries in 2019, but needs to be processed and described before it can be made available to researchers. The fellowship recipient will work under the guidance of Stanford Libraries’ professional staff to advance the processing and creation of an archival finding aid for the Collection, which is part of Stanford Libraries’ Special Collections. The fellowship will offer graduate students the opportunity to learn more about archives and archival practice, and to do a research project of their choice. Some of the work will be located at Stanford’s Redwood City Campus.
