Fellows' Guide
This guide is intended to provide useful information for scholars taking up a 4-week Fellowship or 2-week Travel Grant at the Lewis Walpole Library (LWL). For this guide, all Fellows and Travel Grants will be referred to as Visiting Scholars. As a Visiting Scholar recipient at the LWL, you will have the opportunity to spend an extended period immersed in the world of Britain in the long eighteenth-century at "Yale in Farmington." The Library's unique setting, on a fourteen-acre campus situated on scenic Main Street in the historic district of the beautiful town of Farmington, Connecticut, and removed from the main university campus by some 41 miles (approximately 66 kilometers), provides space and resources for focused study in peaceful surroundings. Founded and bequeathed to Yale by Wilmarth Sheldon Lewis and his wife Annie Burr Lewis, the Lewis Walpole Library is part of the Yale University Library with rich collections of primary and secondary sources that are continually added to and made discoverable and useable by LWL staff.
This guide is designed to aid you throughout your visit from the time you accept your award through your departure from the Library.
