Library of Congress: Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation Fellowship The fellowship, in the amount of $5,000, will support part-time research at the Library of Congress, which houses one of the largest collections of architectural materials in the world. Specifically, the fellow will work on preparing a detailed prospectus for a guide to the work of women architects represented in the collections of the Library. The prospectus will be the basis of an eventual complete guide that will serve as a component of the Library’s companion piece to the existing “American Women: A Gateway to Library of Congress Resources for the Study of Women’s History and Culture in the United States” (http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/awhhtml/index.html). Guide to Research Materials for Architecture and the Built Environment located in Metropolitan Washington, D.C. The members of the Latrobe Chapter are undertaking the updating of the reference book, Architectural Research Materials in the District of Columbia. This document was prepared by Sally Hanford in 1982 and published by the American Institute of Architects Foundation. The result will be an updated edition, in both print and web format, expanded to include resources in five surburban counties in Maryland (Prince George's and Montgomery) and Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax). We are seeking funding for print publication in early 1999 of what should be an invaluable tool for architectural research in the D.C. metropolitan area.
