[KS] Scholarship program of the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin: annual theme 2026 "Small Forms"

[Hu, Jing]

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to share that the SPK Scholarship Program is once again open for applications this year. We warmly welcome scholars who are interested in our collection to spend time in Berlin and help us explore and uncover the value of our holdings. The program is open to both German and international scholars.

The Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (Berlin State Library) is home to exceptional historical special collections of manuscripts, printed works, maps, musical materials, and other collection objects, both in terms of scope and quality, from numerous regions in Europe, Africa and Asia. The library catalogues and researches this cultural heritage which it has been entrusted and which it systematically  complements with modern research literature by using hermeneutic, digital and material-analytical methodologies.

The Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin is reviewing its scholarship program to strategically enhance its profile as a research library and to further strengthen its cooperation with other academic institutions. Two measures are at the center of this review: first, expanding eligibility to applicants from universities and research institutions in Germany and second, introducing a thematic focus on selected topics for the scholarships. Preference will be given to research projects that demonstrate a clear connection to the unique collections of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin.

2026 Annual Theme: Small Forms – Between Materiality, Mediality and Genre (https://staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/fileadmin/user_upload/zentrale_Seiten/Die_Staatsbibliothek/Call_2026_ENG.pdf)
