The AAHM announces three non-residential Digital Humanities scholarships funded by Gale.
The AAHM-Gale Non-Residential Fellowship will support research or teaching projects that rely on Gale Primary Sources and use digital humanities methodologies. Award fellows will be given free access to Gale Digital Scholar Lab and a selection of Gale Primary Sources archives for the duration of the fellowship.
Applicants must make clear how they will use digital methods such as text mining and the corpus of materials in Gale Primary Sources to further their research or teaching. Gale have offered free access to all AAHM members who are interested in applying, open until the submission deadline. You can explore all the Gale archives and Gale Digital Scholar Lab, using this link:
https://link.gale.com/apps/menu?u=aahm . The password is aahm.
You can also access Gale’s text mining platform, Gale Digital Scholar Lab through the link above. The Lab is designed for researchers new to digital humanities methods or with no coding experience, and the fellowships do not require prior experience with text mining.
When submitting your project proposal, please briefly note which Gale archives/collections you think would be relevant to your project.
There will be three AAHM-Gale Non-Residential Fellowships available. Each award will be $2,500 USD. Fellowships will be awarded by June 27th 2025 and must be completed by January 2, 2026.
Recipients of the Gale Fellowship will be invited to submit a panel proposal at the 2026 AAHM Annual Conference, where they will have the opportunity to share the results of their research projects. In addition, Fellows will receive an additional $500 stipend from Gale to present their work at the conference, to assist with their travel and accommodation expenses.
