Open to researchers in various fields and disciplines, these fellowships offer financial and research support for residencies at the National Library. Providing extended access to Australia’s largest cultural collection, National Library Fellowships foster research that produces new knowledge to shape Australia’s intellectual landscape and contributes to public understanding of our collections.

The Library’s Fellowships offer experienced researchers an opportunity to undertake deep and sustained research at the National Library using the Library’s collections. 

Fellowships are available to researchers who require onsite access to the Library’s uniquely held or extensive collections to advance their research towards publication or other public outcomes.

Applicants may work in any field or discipline where the Library’s collections have appropriate depth and breadth to support the desired outcomes.

Applications for National Library of Australia Fellowships and the Creative Arts Fellowship will close on Monday 5 May 2025.
