EBSCO Funds New Digital Humanities Fellowship at Oxford

The program targets scholars working at the intersection of traditional humanities and emerging technology. By offering dedicated research time and institutional resources through the Centre for Digital Scholarship, the fellowship seeks to facilitate projects that might otherwise remain underdeveloped. Recipients gain entry to the Bodleian’s extensive collections, which include over 14 million printed items and rare classical papyri.

Dr. Megan Gooch, who leads the Centre for Digital Scholarship, noted that providing researchers with protected time and institutional connections is vital for fostering meaningful discovery. Terry Robinson, Vice President of Archive Products at EBSCO, added that the initiative reflects a broader corporate push to preserve diverse voices and histories through digital archives. Applications for the fellowship are currently open for scholars looking to leverage these resources to advance their academic disciplines.
