State Library and Archives of Tasmania Fellowships
State Library and Archives of Tasmania (SLAT) Fellowships offer supported access to Tasmania’s rich historical and cultural records.
The Fellowships are an opportunity to explore our unique collections and connect with Tasmania’s identity and history.
Most of all, we support you to share Tasmania’s stories with the public.
The program includes Creative, Research, Aboriginal, and Writing Fellowships. The Creative, Research, and Aboriginal Fellowships run on a rotating schedule, while the Writing Fellowships are offered each year.

Creative Fellowship
This Fellowship is open to artists in any medium – physical, digital, visual or aural, to explore our collections and use what they find to create a new work which can be exhibited or performed at the State Library.
Research Fellowship
The aim of the Research Fellowship is to support historical research and establish new interpretation and knowledge of the collections. It promotes the continued relevance of the State Library and Archives of Tasmania 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.
