KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (June 16, 2026) The Linda Hall: Science Library and Arboretum is pleased to announce the recipients of its 2026-2027 research fellowships. During the coming academic year, the Linda Hall will support 29 scholars, including both residential and virtual fellows. Residential fellows will travel to Kansas City to explore our collections, while virtual fellows will conduct research remotely using digitized materials.

The 2026-2027 cohort includes researchers based in the United States, Brazil, Colombia, France, Indonesia, Italy, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. These doctoral students, postdoctoral scholars, and independent researchers will use the Library’s holdings to investigate the history of science, technology, and engineering. Their projects reflect the breadth and depth of our collections.

“Every day around the world, researchers are uncovering the human stories behind some of history’s most transformative scientific breakthroughs. We are honored to support the incredible work being undertaken by our fellows to uncover these monumental moments,” said Antoinette Bettasso, the Linda Hall fellowship program manager. “Our fellowships allow individuals in Kansas City and from around the world to tell these stories with new perspectives using our vast and rare collections.”
