Libraries
- If your work involves accessing specialized/ archival collections at various libraries around the US or even abroad, many libraries or affiliated institutions have small grants to cover travel & accommodation expenses for accessing those collections. E.g., the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia has small grants for scholars wishing to access their substantial archives on the US chemical industry.
