Cornell University Library welcomes applications for its 2008 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 Cornell's 
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 that 
encourages the study of sexuality and sexual politics.  The online 
guide to Phil Zwickler's collection is at: 
http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/HSC/zwickler/

The Human Sexuality Collection actively acquires, preserves, and 
makes accessible primary sources related to sexuality. Collecting 
efforts focus especially on groups excluded from mainstream culture, 
primarily in the United States from the 19th century onward. Our 
primary sources include print material, manuscript collections, as 
well as some ephemera, artwork, photographs, and other audio-visual 
material.

For more information on the Zwickler Memorial Research Grants, which 
support research with the vast holdings of Cornell's Human Sexuality 
Collection, see:  http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/HSC/zwickler.htm

Deadline: March 31.
