State Library and Archives of Tasmania Fellowships
Fellowship applications have now closed. We will announce the recipients in March.
The State Library and Archives of Tasmania is pleased to offer a 12-month fellowship program. In 2026, four Fellowships are available.
- One Research Fellowship valued at $10,000.
- One Aboriginal Fellowship valued at $10,000.
- Two Writing Fellowships each valued at $5,000.
The Fellowships are an opportunity for researchers and writers to explore our unique collections and connect the public with Tasmania’s rich stories, identity and history. The collections include government and community records, images, publications, and manuscripts.
Research Fellowship
The aim of the Research Fellowship is to support historical research, establish new interpretation and knowledge of the collections. It promotes the continued relevance of the State Library and Archives and encourages public awareness and interaction with its collections.
Aboriginal Fellowship
The Aboriginal Fellowship supports a Tasmanian Aboriginal researcher or creative to undertake a project that engages with the State Library and Archives of Tasmania collection.
Writing Fellowship
Two Writing Fellowships are offered in partnership with Island Magazine. The Fellowships provide support for two writers to each produce a piece of creative writing that illuminates, explores, or reflects an aspect of the State Library and Archives of Tasmania collection.
