Research Fellowships.  

Applications now available for Summer 2009 Research Fellowships at The
Mary Baker Eddy Library in Boston.  Open to academic scholars,
independent researchers, and graduate students.  The Library's newly
public collections, centered on the papers of Mary Baker Eddy and
records documenting the history of Christian Science, offer scholars
countless opportunities for original research.  A select list of such
resources includes:  Mary Baker Eddy's scrapbooks and copybooks;
household account ledgers and receipts; a fully-indexed file of
newspapers clippings that date to the late nineteenth century; Eddy's
sermons and lectures; an extensive historic photograph collection;
architectural records; early histories of branch Churches of Christ,
Scientist; and Eddy's voluminous correspondence and manuscript material,
which offer opportunities for new analyses of her life and ideas.  Mary
Baker Eddy (1821-1910) authored a ground-breaking book on science,
theology, and healing titled Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures and founded the Church of Christ, Scientist, a publishing
society, and The Christian Science Monitor.  Stipend provided.
