Fellowships and Residencies

The Minnesota Historical Society occasionally offers fellowships and residencies for historians, artists and other professionals. These unique opportunities are of varying duration and can involve considerable time spent working with MNHS staff, visitors and community members. Fellows and residents may gain experience working with MNHS collections, creating new programs or developing their own work.
