Each year, scholars from across the nation visit Chapel Hill to conduct research using the rare and historical materials at Wilson Special Collections Library. The University Libraries offers a range of fellowships to support this research.

The Wilson Library Research Forum is an informal program where you can hear from fellowship recipients firsthand and learn about their work with items from the special collections.

The August forum features:
 

• Tangled Wrath: The Lynching of Enslaved People in the American South
  Kelly Jones, Arkansas Technical University

• “Sit by my side, and let the world slip”: Segregation and American Theatres from Slavery to Jim Crow”
  Laura Carrington Obrion, University of Virginia
