Albert Boni Fellowship

The Albert Boni Fellowship was awarded from 1980-1989. This fellowship was awarded to individuals engaged in scholarly research and writing in any field of American history and culture through 1876. The funds for these fellowships derived from a gift made by William F. Boni (1910-1995) of Chester, Vermont, in memory of his father Albert (1892-1981)
