Japan Fellowship

Japan Fellowship

Japan Fellowship aims to promote the National Library’s collections as a national resource for the study of Asia.  The Fellowship is intended to encourage research based on the Japanese collections and the production of publications based on them.

Established by the Library in 2006, the Japan Fellowship is supported by the H.S. Williams Trust Fund. Harold Stannett Williams (1898-1987) donated his personal collection on Japan and the West to the Library in 1978.

The Fellowship is open to established Australian and international researchers in Japanese studies. The fellowship offers the means and the time to work with the Library’s significant Japanese collections, consisting of books, journals, newspapers, maps and electronic resources in Japanese and Western languages.
