The National Sporting Library and Museum (NSLM) is offering researchers from all over the world the opportunity to be a part of the John H. Daniels Fellowship 2020 in Virginia, the United States. It will take place in a research library and fine arts museum dedicated to preserving, promoting and sharing the literature, art, and culture of equestrian, angling and field sports.  The John H. Daniels Fellowship program supports research and includes scholars from around the world. Information is shared through exhibits, lectures, seminars, publications and special events, and many of the programs are free and open to the public.

The diversity of Fellows’ projects reflects the wide variety of material, as topics include history, art, literature, anthropology, and sport, with research projects ranging from the architecture of horse stables, history of horsemanship, equestrian fashion, and poetry, to falconry, veterinary science, environmental conservation and fly fishing.
