JEFFERSON CITY, MO — The Friends of the Missouri State Archives proudly announce the launch of the inaugural “Show-Me” Genealogy Fellowship, a new annual award supporting genealogical research using Missouri’s rich public records.
The fellowship offers a $1,500 award to assist with travel expenses for researchers visiting the Missouri State Archives in Jefferson City and/or its St. Louis branch. Applications are open to any researcher using the Archives’ holdings for genealogical purposes.
Applicants must submit a research proposal (1,000 words or less), a CV or résumé, and contact information for three references from the genealogy community. Materials should be sent to by Friday, May 30, 2025. The recipient will be announced on Monday, June 16, 2025.
Proposals will be evaluated on their originality, use of specific Missouri State Archives collections, potential community impact, and the role the fellowship will play in the project’s success. Preference will be given to projects requiring in-person research at the Archives.
