Research support History of technology, as a discipline Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Research methods Libraries and archives History of technology, as a discipline Digitization Linda Hall Library

When COVID-19 prevented scholars from traveling to libraries, archives, and museums, staff at those institutions devised creative strategies for providing remote access to their holdings. This article examines one such initiative launched by the Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering, and Technology in Kansas City, Missouri. The Library's prioritization of print over archival materials, experience fulfilling document delivery requests, and investments in digitization infrastructure facilitated the transition to a completely virtual fellowship program during the 2021–22 academic year. Although virtual fellowships could not replicate every aspect of in-person residencies, they nonetheless supplied scholars with much-needed funding, research materials, and membership in a scholarly community. Based on the program's initial success, the Library plans to continue offering virtual fellowships to scholars otherwise unable to conduct research on site.
