The NINES Fellowship for graduate students in the humanities at the University of Virginia was designed to facilitate an active community among young scholars interested in nineteenth-century studies online. The application process usually begins in February, with the next year's cohort chosen sometime in April. Keep an eye on the NINES blog for updates and calls for applications.


For Current Fellows

Over the course of your tenure with NINES you will be asked to divide your time between developing your own project and participating in NINES-related work. We usually gather in the NINES office for a meeting (sometimes lunch) every two weeks, to catch up on your progress and let you know what kinds of tasks we need accomplished at that time. A new schedule will be set for these meetings at the beginning of each semester.

Ongoing tasks for NINES include:

  • Searching and tagging objects in the Index
  • Starting discussions in the forum about various objects or topics of interest
  • Building exhibits showcasing resources or themes of interest
  • Blogging (see sample posts here, here and here
