LOST & FOUND: THE CUNY POETICS DOCUMENT INITIATIVE
2016 ARCHIVAL RESEARCH GRANT & DIANE DI PRIMA FELLOWSHIP Application Deadline: March 15th, 2016
• ARCHIVAL RESEARCH GRANT
Lost & Found is a publishing project centered on student archival research in 20th century cultural materials. Poised at the intersection of scholarly investigation, innovative publishing, and cultural preservation, each Lost & Found chapbook emphasizes the importance of collaborative and archival research. The work of Lost & Found is multi-valent and involves: archival research at all stages of its development, digital practices, public events, oral history, mentorship, transcription, and editorial support. The Center for the Humanities is delighted to announce 2016 Lost & Found Research Stipends available for doctoral students from all disciplines at the Graduate Center, CUNY, with experience and/or an interest in archival research.
The Lost & Found Research Stipend is for students in all disciplines who are currently developing archival research and will range from $1,000 to $3,000. It is important to note that Lost & Found is about process as much as product, and only some projects will ultimately be published, though all projects will be stewarded toward completion. We will entertain proposals for projects at all stages of development, from exploratory to advanced.
• DIANE DI PRIMA FELLOWSHIP
New this year, Lost & Found will be granting one Diane di Prima Fellowship. Diane di Prima’s archive is spread far and wide: her own home in San Francisco (a primary research site), as well as archives at UNC Chapel Hill, UConn Storrs, University of Delaware, and Syracuse, not to mention all the correspondence and other materials found in the archives of other contemporaries and colleagues. Having already published several di Prima projects with others in process at Lost & Found, these fellowships are for direct work on and with di Prima, with a particular emphasis on working with archivists and institutions to envision new channels of access across various holdings and modes of her oeuvre.
To apply for either the Archival Research Grant or the Diane di Prima Fellowship, please send the following to [email protected] no later than March 15th, 2016:

CUNY-NYBG Graduate Fellowship 2016
CUNY–New York Botanical Garden–Humanities Institute Graduate Research Fellowship
Summer 2016
The Early Research Initiative invites applications for two CUNY- NYB—Humanities Institute Graduate Research Fellowships. These CUNY sponsored $4000 fellowships will be offered to CUNY Graduate Center Ph.D. students (Level I onward) from any program with primary research interests related to the environmental humanities that can be studied using the collections of the LuEsther T. Mertz Library at NYBG. One of the most comprehensive botanical libraries worldwide, its holdings comprise eight centuries of knowledge about the plant kingdom and related topics. The primary responsibilities of the fellowship recipient will be to collaborate with curators and archivists from NYBG to expand public awareness and accessibility of important historical documents and related materials that reflect contemporary American science and culture. The fellowship recipient will be responsible for carefully scanning, describing, and indexing of one of the collection’s historical manuscripts (see below), preparing it for potential online publication.
While the rich and diverse collections of the Mertz Library span the early modern period to the contemporary moment and embrace the global as well as the local, it is offering CUNY students, the opportunity to complete a study project focused on early American botany, gardening and horticultural traditions, involving four, late eighteenth and nineteenth-century manuscripts relating to New York and surrounding areas, namely:
New York City Plantsman's Ledger, 1793–1795. This manuscript by an anonymous plantsman from New York City is a unique historical account of eighteenth-century life in lower Manhattan before department stores as it describes services rendered to, and goods purchased by prominent New York City residents, many of whose names are still reflected in today’s local street names.
Prince Family Account Book, Flushing New York, 1815-1817. This manuscript, a historical Daybook kept by William Prince (1766-1882) describes the business conducted at the Prince family nursery in Flushing, Long Island, NY, and includes an inventory of the furniture, farming utensils, horses, and personal property belonging to the various family members, who imported plants and fruit trees from Europe.
Minutes of the New-York Horticultural Society, 1818-1839. In 1818 a group of horticulturists, gardeners, and nurserymen founded the New York Horticultural Society, which up to the 1840’s furthered botany and horticulture in the region. Its Inspecting Committee’s records are extensive and colorful; its members consisting of New Yorker from all ranks of society, from gentlemen to gardeners, who would meet weekly to examine flower, fruit and vegetable exhibitions.
John Torrey (1796-1873) Calendarium Florae for the Vicinity of New York, 1818-1820. This manuscript records daily excursions and flower sightings in New York by one of America’s leading botanists, John Torrey, when he was a young medical student. The manuscript forms part of the larger repository at NYBG (The Torrey Papers), a leading collection of Torrey’s correspondence, notes, and botanical illustrations, which document the development of botany and natural science, the establishment of American scientific institutions, as well as American westward expansion.
Responsibilities: Fellowship recipients will be required to be in residence for 120 hours over the summer of 2016 at the LuEsther T. Mertz Library; in addition, recipients will be required to do a brief public presentation on their work progress and write a blog post about their experiences before the end of the Fall 2016 semester.
