The residency program assists those scholars and professionals whose research in the black experience can benefit from extended access to the Center's collections. The program is designed to encourage research and writing in black history and culture, to facilitate interaction among the participants, and to provide for widespread dissemination of findings through lectures, publications, and Schomburg Center Colloquia. The Fellowship Program is open to scholars studying black history and culture and to professionals in fields related to the Schomburg Center's collections and program activities. Persons seeking support for research leading to degrees are not eligible under this program.
