Harper Research Grant

The Harper Research Grant provides support for research in any collection managed by FSU Libraries Special Collections & Archives. Awards are funded by an endowment established by Dr. Kristine Harper, professor of history and philosophy of the Earth sciences at the University of Copenhagen, scholar and former Professor of History at Florida State University. The Harper Research Grant funds travel expenses of up to $3000 for non-FSU graduate students, post docs, early career scholars, and/or independent researchers whose work would benefit from in-person access to our collections.

The First Baptist Church has been a cornerstone in Tallahassee for many years. Due to the church’s close proximity to FSU, it also holds the stories of many of our students over the years who participated in the Church while calling Tallahassee home.
