2 ONE-MONTH RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY

CONNECTING HISTORIES: THE PRINCETON AND MOUNT ATHOS LEGACY

DUE 16 AUGUST 2024

The ongoing multi-year project, “Connecting Histories: The Princeton and Mount Athos Legacy,” aims to create an international team of faculty, staff, and students that will explore and bring awareness to the rich, complex, and remarkable historical and cultural heritage of Mount Athos, and its connection to Princeton University. 

The collaborative team engages in research, teaching, digitization projects, and descriptive cataloging over three years (2023–2026), exploring holdings throughout the Princeton campus, including Visual Resources and the Index of Medieval Art in the Department of Art & Archaeology, the Mendel Music Library, and the Graphic Arts Collection and Manuscript Division at Princeton University Library. 

The project has been generously sponsored by the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies, and from the Art and Archaeology Department at Princeton University, the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, the Mount Athos Foundation of America, and the Princeton Humanities Council.

We are excited to announce two new research opportunities for a one-month in-person stay Princeton. The first focuses on the Graphic Arts collection in the Princeton University Library and/or the Slobodan Nenadović Collection of Drawings and Photographs of Hilandar Monastery in the Department of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University; while the second explores the Kurt Weitzmann Archive in the Visual Resources Collection of the Department of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University. Generous funding for these positions has been offered by the Mount Athos Foundation of America and the Princeton University Humanities Council. The deadline is August 16, 2024.
