Founded in 1919, the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) was meant to assist in collaborative research and publications in the fields of philology, archaeology, history, and the “moral, political, and social sciences.” Scholars in these fields will be happy to know that their website provides ample material on ACLS’s fellowship and grant programs, along with a selection of links related to related opportunities at other organizations that deal in such matters. Visitors will want to make sure and peruse their publications area, as it contains the ACLS Annual Reports, their occasional paper series, and the full text of the Charles Homer Haskins Lectures. Started in 1983, these lectures contain insights from such noted intellectuals as Robert K. Merton, Yi-Fu Tuan, and Donald W. Meinig.
