International exchanges

We are keen to promote collaborative working with other world-leading special collections and research organisations.

We offer a range of exchange opportunities to University of Manchester researchers at all career stages to conduct research, gain insights from other scholars and experts and extend scholarly networks. We particularly welcome applications for visits that can provide a step towards a larger, externally funded grant bid.  

The Huntington-Rylands Exchange Fellowship

The Huntington Library is an independent research centre for the humanities that welcomes advanced researchers from all over the world. The Library has an extensive collection of rare books, manuscripts, maps, photographs and other textual and graphic materials important for the study of British and American history and literature, the history of science and technology, and the history of the book.

This scheme supports one researcher, at any career stage, from each institution to apply for a one-month fellowship at the partner institution.

Rylands Fellows visiting The Huntington will receive economy round-trip airfare and a bursary of £3000 towards accommodation and subsistence.
