Milt Luger Fellowships

The Milt Luger Fellowships are awarded for projects which investigate and document aspects of Australian history, life and culture through research based largely on the collections and records held within the State Library of New South Wales. Preference will be given to research projects which have not received any prior support and which highlight the role of innovation and leadership in Australian life.
