The Center for Popular Music Studies at Case Western Reserve University,
working with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, announces the
availability of research fellowships to support use of the resources of the
Rock Hall's Library and Archives.

Fellowships will be in the amount of $2,000 to support a one-week research
trip. Applicants should send a CV or résumé, a one-page statement of
research plans as they relate to the holdings of the Library and Archives
(see http://catalog.rockhall.com), and proposed dates of residence to
popmusic at case.edu. Review of applications will begin January 26, 2015.

The Library and Archives is the world's most comprehensive repository of
materials relating to rock and roll, its musical roots (e.g. blues,
country, R&B, gospel) and related genres (e.g. soul, hip-hop). The library
gives casual users access to over 16,000 non-circulating books,
periodicals, and recordings. In the archives, researchers may work directly
with hundreds of thousands of original photographs, posters, promotional
materials, rare audio and video recordings, and personal and corporate
papers. Many of the collection materials are  unique to the Library and
Archives, and much more is available at only one or two other repositories
in the country, or, in some cases, the world. The more than 400 collections
focus on such luminaries as Alan Freed, Del Shannon, Curtis Mayfield, Otis
Redding, Art Garfunkel, Clive Davis, and Scotty Moore, plus Atlantic
Records, Sire Records, FAME Studios, Bloodshot Records, Kill Rock Stars,
and other music-related companies, as well as a materials relevant to a
local music collecting initiative, the Northeast Ohio Popular Music
Archives, which includes over 50 years of the late Cleveland rock critic
Jane Scott's working notes, as well as personal collections from local
producers, photographers, promoters, and musicians.

The Library and Archives is a 22,500-square-foot facility located on the
campus of Cuyahoga Community College, at 2809 Woodland Avenue in downtown
Cleveland. More information about the Library and Archives and its holdings
can be found at http://library.rockhall.com/.

Any questions about the program can be sent to popmusic at case.edu.
