Colorado State University Libraries’ Water Resources Archive and Friedman Feminist Press Collection recently opened research assistance grants to applications for 2023.
Water scholars wanted
The Water Resources Archive is accepting applications for the Water Scholar Award to researchers who are studying topics related to western water. Grants will be awarded to researchers whose work would benefit from extensive use of the archive’s primary sources and other materials.
The archive contains a range of documents that shed light on the histories of irrigation, civil engineering, water management and interstate compacts with a central focus on Colorado.
Grants can be used to offset travel expenses to visit the archive and costs associated with publishing scholarly products. Specific references to the collection’s holdings and their relation to the applicant’s area of research must be included.
The inaugural recipient in 2022 was Ryan Hearty, a Ph.D. candidate at Johns Hopkins University.
Applications are due to CSU Libraries Water Resources Archivist Patty Rettig by Jan. 31, 2023.
