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).

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.

More information about our holdings can be found through:
Cornell's online catalog (http://catalog.library.cornell.edu/)
the RMC web site (http://rmc.library.cornell.edu)
and the Human Sexuality Collection's web site
(http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/HSC/)

REQUIREMENTS: Any researcher with a project that can be augmented by
research with the Human Sexuality Collection and related sources is
eligible to apply. Preference is given to projects that have a high
probability of publication or other public dissemination.
Awardees will be invited to discuss their work at a public event
during their stay. At the end of the research, awardees are expected
to submit a brief final report on their research experience in order
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.
AWARDS: One or more awards of up to $1,350 will be made annually.
DEADLINES: Applications for 2003 will be accepted through March 7,
2003. Awards will be announced by April 18. Research must be
completed within a year.
