About the fellowships and awards
Fellowships and residencies support researchers and creatives of all kinds to interpret the significant collections of the John Oxley Library. Through deep engagement and interaction with the collections, these interpretations provide new insights into the collection and contribute new knowledge about Queensland’s history.
Awards recognise outstanding contributions made to advance our understanding of Queensland’s cultural heritage.
Applications for other fellowships have now closed. Applications will open again in mid-2023.
