The Art Collections contain notable British and American paintings, fine prints, photographs, and an art reference library. The Huntington will award to scholars over one hundred fellowships for the academic year 2007-2008. These fellowships derive from a variety of funding sources and have different terms. Recipients of all fellowships are expected to be in continuous residence at the Huntington and to participate in and make a contribution to its intellectual life.
