The Center for Italian Studies and the Hesburgh Libraries invite applications for the Italian Studies Library Acquisitions Grant. This grant supports the acquisition of materials in Italian studies that fall beyond the scope of regular library purchasing. Funds may be used to support the acquisition of collections and individual items of rare, unique, or exceptional value that advance research and teaching at the University of Notre Dame.
Selection Criteria
Proposed acquisitions may include:
- Entire collections or other substantial multi-item purchases that address critical needs.
- Unique or rare materials of scholarly or research value.
- Opportunities not supported by existing departmental or library funds.
Further details and criteria may be found in the formal call for proposals.
Guidelines
Proposals may be submitted by any member of the University of Notre Dame community whose work supports research or teaching in Italian studies.
Proposals should be submitted using the designated submission form.
For the spring 2026 semester, proposals are due by Wednesday, April 15.
