Through the Lord Baltimore Research Fellowship, we welcome applications on all periods and aspects of Maryland’s social, political, and cultural history. Our goal is to foster research across a breadth of historical fields and areas of interests, while drawing on the collections within the H. Furlong Baldwin Library. Applications should demonstrate a strong tie between the proposed research project and the Library’s collections.

Focus for 2025–2026: We invite proposals from a wide spectrum of Maryland history and culture topics. For the 2025–2026 year, special consideration will be given to proposals looking ahead to America250, the United States Semiquincentennial.

The Ashby M. Larmore Fellowship Program was created to foster and expand genealogical and historical knowledge related to the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The fellowship seeks to support scholarly research using primary sources in the collections of the H. Furlong Baldwin Library. Research topics may be genealogical in nature, or focusing on historical topics exploring the people, events, sites, and/or objects of Eastern Shore communities through the mid-20th century.
