Fort Ticonderoga offers a short-term visiting research fellowship (two weeks) for scholars—from advanced graduate students to senior scholars. Scholars with strong interests in early America broadly understood to mean the Atlantic World in the years between 1609 and 1815 are encouraged to apply. In addition to its manuscript collection, Fort Ticonderoga holds one of the North America’s largest collections of military material culture, covering the colonization of North American and the ensuing conflicts, including the Seven Years’ War, American Revolution, and War of 1812.
