Welcome to the Charles Warren Center on-line. As Harvard's research center for North American history, our mission is to advance research and teaching in the broad range of American historical inquiry, and to serve as a nexus for the community of Americanists at Harvard and in the Boston area. The Warren Center has, over the forty-plus years of its existence, brought hundreds of postdoctoral fellows to Harvard, and awarded significant funds to generations of Harvard students, both undergraduate and graduate. The Center also hosts public lectures, organizes conferences and symposia, and sponsors the occasional publishing project (most recently, Yards and Gates: Women in History at Harvard and Radcliffe, 2004).

The Warren Center's annual fellowship is organized around a broad theme in American history.  Applications are sought from post-doctoral scholars working on projects connected with the theme, from which are selected a cohort of roughly seven fellows at diverse points in their careers.  Each presents a portion of his/her work-in-progress in the workshop sessions, which are open to the scholarly public.  Joining in the enterprise are the two Harvard faculty which originally conceived the theme, guest lecturers, and graduate students enrolled in an allied research seminar.  Click here for a listing of future themes, and here for an overview of our student grant programs.
