APHA is accepting applications for the 2024 Mark Samuels Lasner Fellowship in Printing History. This award of up to $2,000 is available for research in any area of the history of printing, including all the arts and technologies relevant to printing, the book arts, and letter forms.

The Mark Samuels Lasner Fellowship supports the study of printing history, in any time period or geographic region. The topic may be biographical, analytical, technical, or bibliographical in nature, with printing history a central aspect of the project to be funded. Studio work or study with a recognized printer, if focused on printing history, may be supported.

APHA fellowships are open to individuals of any nationality. Applicants need not be academics, and an advanced degree is not required. Previous applicants are invited to re-apply.

The fellowship can be used to pay for travel, living, and other expenses, including internet access, dependent care during the period of research, or fees for image reproduction.

The fellowship will be formally awarded at the annual meeting of the American Printing History Association on Saturday, January 27, 2024. The annual meeting will be held at the Center for Book Arts in New York City, with online attendance also possible.

The deadline for applications and supporting materials has been extended to Tuesday, January 9, 2024, and information for applicants has recently been updated. Full information, the application form, and a sample budget may be found on the APHA Fellowship page.
