This news is not new. The awardees were notified last spring. But this information has only just recently been released via the ACLS website.
The deadline for next year's fellowships is October 3. Fellowship programs are described on the ACLS webpage.
I'm listing the legal history-related ACLS Fellowships, Ryskamps and Burkhardt's below. Although the news was not so good for law faculty applicants, the results are promising in another respect. Look at how much law is being done in other parts of the academy. Interest in legal history may well be spread across departments on your campus.
