<div><font face="Verdana">For a second year, Cornell University
Library is pleased to invite applicants for its Phil Zwickler Memorial
Research Grants. Through the generosity of the Phil Zwickler
Charitable and Memorial Foundation, we are able to offer select
scholars financial assistance for expenses incurred when they come to
conduct research on sexuality with sources in the Division of Rare and
Manuscript Collections (RMC).<br>
<br>
Zwickler, a filmmaker and journalist who devoted his talents to
communicating ideas about lesbian and gay rights and the AIDS crisis,
died in 1991 at age 36. Documentation of his life and work are
preserved in Cornell's Human Sexuality Collection, a program in RMC
that seeks to encourage the study of sexuality and sexual politics by
preserving and making accessible relevant primary sources that
document historical shifts in the social construction of sexuality.
Collecting efforts go especially to groups excluded from mainstream
culture and focus primarily in the United States from the 19th century
onward. Our primary sources include print material, manuscript
collections, as well as some ephemera, artwork, and audio-visual
material.<br>

to receive final payment. Non-U.S. citizens need to inquire about
procedures for payment of the award. Awardees should also send a copy
of publications that result from this research.<br>
<b>AWARDS:</b> One or more awards of up to $1,350 will be made
