THE T. GLENDENNING HAMILTON

RESEARCH GRANT PROGRAM

 

 

Archives & Special Collections of the University of Manitoba Libraries offers financial support each year for those scholars and researchers interested in using the Department’s growing number of valuable manuscript and imprint collections.  Supported by the T. Glendenning Hamilton Fund, the program is directed to graduate students, faculty members, staff, and others whose research projects call for intensive, on-site use of the Hamilton or other collections housed in the Department.  A limited number of short-term grants of from $300.00 to $600.00 are available for reimbursement of transportation, subsistence, and related research costs.  Tuition payments are not covered by the program.

 

Major collections now open for research include the following:

 

q       Local History collections such as the T.G. Hamilton collection on parapsychology and psychic phenomena, the Winnipeg Tribute collection, the John W. Dafoe papers, and the Marshall J. Gauvin collection on rationalist and free thought;

 

q       Manitoba Politics collections such as those of the Manitoba Liberal Party, Craig Stewart, M.P.; Margaret Konantz, M.P.; Gordon Ritchie, M.P.; and others;

 

q       Prairie Literature collections including those of Frederick Philip Grove, Ralph Connor, Paul Hiebert, Dorothy Livesay, Eli Mandel, Bertram Brooker, Margaret Stobie, and Charles L’Ami.

 

Information on these and the growing number of other collections held by the Archives Department is available upon request.  Those wishing to apply must complete an application form like the one on the reverse side of this brochure and submit it to:
