Houghton provides fellows with access to other libraries at Harvard University, and opportunities to exchange knowledge and promote their research through its publications, and scholarly and public programs.

Recent fellows’ research topics speak to the breadth and depth of Houghton’s holdings—ranging from colonial-era Native American music to the collecting of Sanskrit manuscripts, and Iberian chivalric romances to celebrity pregnancy on the London stage.
