The University of East Anglia and the British Library are informing interested applicants of their fully-funded Collaborative Doctoral International Scholarships which will come up October 2022 under the AHRC’s Collaborative Doctoral Partnership Scheme.

Library of Robert Cotton (1571-1631), now a fundamental of the BL’s globally-significant collections, has been posited as the most pertinent collection of manuscripts ever collated in Britain by an individual. This CDP provides a distinctive chance to produce an original piece of research on the origins and/or seventeenth-century development of Cotton’s exceptional collection. 

This project work will be supervised by Dr. Thomas Roebuck and Dr. Katherine Hunt, University of East Anglia, who are professionals in early modern scholarship and collecting practices; and Julian Harrison and Dr. Andrea Clarke, lead curators of Medieval and Early Modern Manuscripts at the BL. The holder of the award will be based at UEA, and will also be based at the BL for an important proportion of the studentship.

At UEA, student will join a growing Medieval and Early Modern research community and have access to a host of training opportunities, and at the BL student will benefit from behind-the-scenes access, learning from other professionals across the Library, and an extensive internal training offer. Student will also join the wider cohort of CDP-funded students across the United Kingdom and will be qualified to partake in the CDP Cohort Development Events. This studentship can be studied in both fulltime and part-time. It depends.
