Each year, scholars from across the nation visit Chapel Hill to conduct research using the rare and historical materials at Wilson Special Collections Library. The University Libraries offers a range of fellowships to support this research.

The Wilson Library Research Forum is an informal program where you can hear from fellowship recipients firsthand and learn about their work with items from the special collections.

In monthly virtual presentations from February through June, last year’s fellows will discuss their research and discoveries.  

June presentations: 

• Reconstruction of Feeling: How Emotions Shaped Change in the Post-War South
  Jared Asser; University of Georgia, History

• The Deprivations of War: Famine and Social Change in the Civil War Era South, 1861-1868
  Sanjay Paul; Harvard University, History
