Mellon Foundation Native American Scholars Initiative (NASI) Digital
Knowledge Sharing Fellowships

The American Philosophical Society's Library & Museum in Philadelphia
invites applications for short-term Digital Knowledge Sharing
Fellowships to support digital projects that connect archives and
Indigenous communities. These funding opportunities are part of the
Native American Scholars Initiative (NASI), supported by the Mellon
Foundation. Fellows will work with the Library & Museum’s Center for
Native American and Indigenous Research (CNAIR), which aims to promote
greater collaboration between scholars, archives, and Indigenous
communities throughout the Americas.

Selected fellows will travel to the APS in Philadelphia in July 2025
to participate in a workshop to share their projects, and discuss
opportunities and challenges for accomplishing their goals. Following
the workshop fellows will continue to work with APS staff and
affiliates to complete their objectives. Past projects have focused on
materials housed at the APS as well as collections held at other
archives and libraries, and have included language reclamation
initiatives, recording oral histories, territorial and historical
research, and the establishment and growth of community-based
archives, among others.

The fellowship stipend is $3,000 plus the costs associated with
visiting the APS for the summer workshop with other DKS fellows. The
workshop will take place July 23-24, 2025.

These fellowships are open to people at any stage of their career,
regardless of academic background, including those based in
communities or universities, and scholars and researchers in any
field. Preference will be given to those who have sustained personal
engagement or lived experience with Indigenous communities. We
particularly encourage applications from Native American and
Indigenous Studies scholars in training, tribal college or university
faculty, and members of Indigenous communities, as well as from
scholars working closely with Indigenous communities on
community-based and community-directed projects.

The Center for Native American and Indigenous Research works with
Indigenous communities throughout North America and with scholars in
many disciplines. The heart of CNAIR’s mission is working
collaboratively to reconnect collections to communities. These efforts
focus on enhancing access by providing digital copies of APS materials
to Indigenous cultural centers, archives, language programs, and
schools, and building lasting, collaborative relationships based upon
our shared values of preserving knowledge of the past for the benefit
of future generations. To learn more about CNAIR, available fellowship
and internship opportunities, and to browse the APS's Library &
Museum’s holdings related to over 650 different Indigenous cultures,
