The National Sporting Library, a research institution specializing in
horse and field sports, invites applications for research fellowships from

professionals, journalists, and independent scholars. Located 42 miles
west of Washington, D.C., the Library holds an extensive collection of
over 16,000 books, periodicals, manuscripts, and sporting art. The
collection covers many aspects of equestrian and outdoor sports, including
foxhunting, horse racing, polo, dressage, eventing, coaching, shooting,
and angling. The F. Ambrose Rare Book Room contains over 4,000 rare
volumes from the sixteenth through twentieth centuries in several

housing (for those outside of the immediate area) are provided. For more
