The State Library's fellowships program is one of the most substantial in Australia. Each year, the Library offers Creative Fellowships to encourage the original and imaginative use or development of the Library's collections for new work.
The Library also provides a number of specialist fellowships to support and recognise the importance of scholarly endeavour in areas ranging from children's literature and social history to the visual arts, theatre, 19th-century Victoria and Ukrainian studies.
In 2017 a new Digital Fellowship has been offered, to encourage innovative uses of the Library's digitised collections and data.
The fellowships are funded by the State Library Victoria Foundation and other program partners, and are awarded annually on the advice of independent expert panels.
Applications for the 2017–18 Fellowships closed on Sunday 23 April 2017. All candidates will receive notification by the end of June.
