2025 Fellowship Opportunity!
Rosen House Summer Research Fellowship: Collection and Archives
Theme: Lucie Rosen, Woman of Style
Caramoor seeks a fellow for a short-term (ideally June – August 2025), sustained period of in-person research at our highly unique and historic site in Katonah, New York. Some additional travel to other collections/libraries may be necessary. The theme of the fellowship in 2025 is the wardrobe of Lucie Bigelow Rosen, which contains examples of the work of Mariano Fortuny and Ethel Wallace, as well as dressmakers from Henri Bendel and other retailers in New York and Europe. Currently, the collection of Mrs. Rosen’s clothing and accessories (about 160 items) is minimally cataloged. This opportunity is well suited to a graduate student with knowledge of fashion history and some prior experience in handling and cataloging garments and accessories. Those interested in fashion history, archives, and/or museum studies are encouraged to apply. Strong writing skills are an asset for applicants.
Stipend / $3,500 (made in installments)
Project outcomes:
- Complete catalog records for approximately 160 objects, including full descriptions of garments, identification of major textile components, documentation of labels and condition notes (PastPerfect database).
- Three blog posts suitable for a general audience (500-700 words each). One post due mid-way through fellowship period.
- Short presentation to select staff and Rosen House Committee (September 2025).
Requirements for application:
- Letter of interest, including reason for application and description of relevant study and/or topics of special interest.
- Resume or curriculum vitae
- Short writing sample (approximately 300-500 words)
- Two letters of reference from recent professors and/or relevant work supervisors
Application materials to be sent to personnel@caramoor.org.
