The Library Company of Philadelphia is delighted to welcome applications for its first biennial Innovation Award. The Innovation Award will recognize a project—digital or analog—that critically and creatively expands the possibilities of humanistic scholarship.
Proposals will be evaluated by a committee of leaders in higher education, research libraries, and cultural heritage institutions who will evaluate how proposed projects make scholarly work new again. That scholarly work might take the form of an article, chapter, academic monograph, scholarly edition, or other project, in either print or digital form. Innovation will be defined broadly and may include refashioning scholarly work with new partners, for new audiences, or into new forms.
We welcome proposals from applicants in all fields and at all career stages, including graduate students, junior and senior faculty members, as well as independent scholars.
