Jenna Townend is pursuing her Ph.D. at Loughborough
University and was recently awarded the Special Collections and University Archives’ Research Travel Grant. She visited UNCG's University Libraries
earlier in 2017 to study the seventeenth century literary borrowings from
George Herbert’s “The Temple” (1633) and to conduct comparative bibliographic
research into the watermarks and ornaments of six texts published by Philemon
and Robert Stephens. University Libraries offers one research travel grant per
year to support the work of a researcher who utilizes the holdings of the
Martha Blakeney Hodges Special Collections and University Archives. Collections
include rare books, manuscripts, women’s literature, cello music, University
archives and Betty Carter Women Veterans Historical Project. The research travel
grant is intended to pay for travel and lodging costs associated with a
research trip to Greensboro, North Carolina. Graduate students, post-docs,
teaching faculty and independent scholars are encouraged to submit a grant
application. Applicants must live outside of the North Carolina Piedmont area
to be eligible and have a clear research plan that involves the
on-site use of UNCG’s Special Collections and University Archives.
