The Peter Selley Fellowship for Members of the Book Trades at the Bodleian Libraries is open to applicants pursuing a career in book or MS auctions or the antiquarian book trade. The Fellowship honors the memory of Peter Selley, a rare book specialist and auctioneer who worked at Sotheby’s in London for 28 years who died in 2021 and provides support for the successful applicant to carry out research in the special collections of the Bodleian Libraries. Peter Kidd was the first fellow in 2023/24, researching ‘The Illuminated Cuttings of William Young Ottley.’
