The Army Heritage Center Foundation aims to support and enhance the collection at the United States Army Heritage and Education Center. This includes the acquisition and preservation of a vast range of military history resources such as manuscripts, photographs, oral histories, books, classified documents, military publications and periodicals, maps, and artifacts.
The Robert L. and Robert C. Ruth Fellowship is designed for graduate students in good standing to pursue a focused research project at the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC) in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The fellowship provides a $1,500 grant for a 3-week summer research program. Funded in memory of family members by AHCF Board Member Christopher Gleason, the fellowship is open to research projects on a broad range of topics, not limited to military history, that can be supported by the USAHEC collection. Applicants are expected to consult the USAHEC’s online catalog to plan their research and include a list of needed resources in their application. Research at USAHEC is by appointment, requiring coordination with staff and the submission of a materials pull list in advance.
