I was awarded the Durham Research Library Fellowship in 2022 for two months (May and June). It was a very rewarding time. The kindness of the staff and the helpfulness of the librarians, who always made me feel at home, allowed me to carry on my research fruitfully at Ushaw College Library. Durham is also a vibrant university town and the Durham Research Library Fellowship provides many opportunities for academic networking and exchange with other Fellows.

Holland Visiting Fellowship (Georgian University, Italy)
Durham is a lovely town, and the University is a stimulating place for scholars. I believe that the Fellowship will offer wonderful experiences, both academically and socially, to anyone interested in research and life at an English university.
Shunsuke Katsuta
Sasakawa Visiting Fellowship (University of Tokyo, Japan)
I am deeply grateful for my Lendrum Book Fellowship, which has offered me a truly transformative research experience. The expansive time and space offered by the Fellowship has enabled me both to pursue my planned archival project in depth, and to discover new and unexpected pathways for the future. This will lead to several outputs and, I hope, some future projects and collaborations related to early books and manuscripts at Durham Cathedral and Durham University. My heartfelt thanks to the Lendrums for their generosity.

First and foremost, the access to the precious and vast library resources enabled me to progress with my research plans in a manner that would have been impossible otherwise. The Palace Green Library, where I spent most of my time is located in the historical and heritage centre of Durham and one could not imagine a better place to read and analyse medieval and...

Lendrum Priory Visiting Fellowship (John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland)
My time at Ushaw enriched my understanding of recusancy in the eighteenth century generally, and more specifically of recusants as a dynamic diasporic readership
John Stone
Holland Visiting Fellowship (Universitat de Barcelona, Spain)
My fellowship was a great experience and the working conditions were ideal. I was allotted a host college and made welcome everywhere. As well as working productively in the archives I met an expert on the material I was using, and attended seminars and events. Durham is the perfect thinking environment, and has the cafés to complement it - highly recommended.
Robert Poole
Barker Visiting Fellowship (University of Central Lancashire, United Kingdom)
'I had a fantastic month as part of the Durham Research Fellowships scheme at the start of 2020. Participating in the scheme allowed me to conduct detailed research into medieval archival material held by at Durham, including original financial accounts, charters, and court rolls. I subsequently integrated this into my research on the governance of the medieval wool trade. I enjoyed the chance to meet some of the historians based at Durham and also greatly enjoyed staying at Ushaw College, which offered a stunning location. Another highlight included attendance at a formal dinner at St Chad's College with other Research...
