Sponsored jointly by The College of William and Mary and Colonial Williamsburg


The College of William and Mary and The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation founded the Institute of Early American History and Culture in 1943 and jointly sponsor its work. In 1996 the College and Colonial Williamsburg added Omohundro to the Institute's name in recognition of a generous gift from the late Mr. and Mrs. Malvern H. Omohundro, Jr. The Institute receives support from the National Endowment for the Humanities for a two-year Institute/NEH Postdoctoral Fellowship, awarded annually. Every year the Institute also offers a one-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship.
