SHENANDOAH VALLEY BATTLEFIELD FOUNDATION RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

In 2026, the Foundation will host either one research fellow for a one or two week session, or two fellows for one week sessions. Each fellowship provides $1,250 ( per one week session) to support the cost of travel and per diem expenses for researchers to use the Foundation’s John “Jack” Ackerly III Memorial Library at the Foundation’s headquarters in New Market, Virginia, for a period of at least five consecutive days per session.

Estelle Freedman Award

The Estelle Freedman Award is a research travel award given out by the CLGBTH for scholars applying feminist analysis to LBGTQ history, from any historical time period or region. The award is named in honor of Estelle Freedman, a pathbreaking historian in US women’s history and feminist studies. Professor Freedman taught at Stanford from 1976 to 2021, where she cofounded the Program in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Her prolific scholarship includes prison reform, lesbian history, and the politics of sexuality.
