Archives By-Fellowships are open to researchers engaged in academic projects at a post-doctoral level or above.

Archives by-Fellowships enable those from outside Cambridge to come and live in the College community and access the Centre’s collections for a temporary period. Applications are made to the Archives Committee, which then makes recommendations to the Fellowship Electors of Churchill College. Applications will be judged on the quality and promise of the research project.

The By-Fellows are awarded on the recommendation of the College Archives Committee.
