The Eccles Institute for the Americas and Oceania works to support research and learning about the Americas through the collections of the British Library, and to foster transatlantic knowledge exchange and cultural relations. Ìý

The scholar can either focus on exploring the British Library’s collections, or undertake fieldwork on the British Library, or combine both approaches. It is expected that the project will address an aspect of information literacy, contemporary libraries, knowledge institutions or information systems in the Americas, but comparative or transnational analyses and perspectives will be eligible.Ìý

The scholar will be given opportunities to contribute to the intellectual and cultural life of the Eccles Institute and the British Library through, for instance, events, workshops and publications.ÌýÌý
