Applications are now open for the Auckland Library Heritage Trust’s annual Researcher in Residence Scholarship.

The purpose of the scholarship is to encourage research based on material held in the Sir George Grey Special Collections. Each year the Trust awards $1000 to a research scholar with a particular interest in the collections of Auckland Libraries given by Sir George Grey and added to by others in the decade since.

The range and breadth of the Collections means that researchers have a wide scope to work on a project which interests them. Explore the collections here.
