The reinvigorated fellowship program, which offers three types of fellowship, builds on this record of books, essays, plays, theses, and other works and underscores the abiding commitment to make the collections an accessible source of inspiration for scholars, artists, and critics at Yale, in New Haven, and around the world. The scope of who is welcomed and supported to do research in the library and what kinds of projects are possible are now broader than before.
The holdings of the Beinecke Library and Yale’s special collections are described in Orbis, the online catalogue of Yale University Library, and in Archives at Yale, a database of descriptions of archival collections also known as finding aids.
