The specific focus of the Australian Religious History Fellowship is for the study and research of any aspect of Australian religious history of any faith. 

$20,000 - The study and research of any aspects of Australian religious history of any faith.

It is understood that the successful fellow will more than likely need to consult archives and records outside the Library, however it is expected that the fellow will use the Library’s resources to a significant degree.

The Australian Religious History Fellowship was established in 2010 with a generous endowment from an anonymous benefactor.

It is expected that Australian Religious History Fellows will:

• be experienced researchers who are able to demonstrate a successful record of scholarship, publications and research outcomes
• be able to demonstrate a high-level capacity to promote their work through a variety of media channels in collaboration with the Library
• agree that the Fellowship is a priority during their tenure and that a concentrated period of effort, in the one-year tenure, will be made to deliver the Fellowship
• consider the Fellowship a priority during their tenure and that a concentrated period of effort, in the one-year tenure, will be made to deliver the Fellowship
• actively promote the research undertaken during their tenure
• make a presentation about the project at the conclusion of the Fellowship
• ensure any publications, outcomes or media coverage which result from the Fellowship prominently acknowledge the support of the Library and the Fellowship
• contribute to Library's print and online publications
• submit, to the Mitchell Librarian, a four-page summary of their completed project, copies of any research outcomes (presentations and publications) and a bibliography
• acquit their Fellowship in a timely manner.
