About the Residency
We’ve established a broad Innovator in Residence Program to support innovative and creative uses of our collections that showcase how the Library relates to and enriches the work, life, and imagination of the American people.

We will pay you up to $80,000 each year for a maximum of two years to do research with Library of Congress collections, produce a creative and transformative digital work for the American people, and serve as an ambassador for the Library. We anticipate the residency will take place part-time both virtually and in-person, beginning in September 2022. You will propose your own schedule for the residency as part of the application process. The unique work must be delivered within the first year. In the second year, you will promote and connect your work and Library resources with communities, continue your research, and create scaffolding materials for your work to support community interaction. Work completed in year one cannot be dependent on a second year, which is optional.
