Visiting scholars are an important part of the Amerind Foundation mission to promote new scholarship in anthropology, archaeology, history, and art history. The Amerind Foundation is located in scenic Texas Canyon, 60 miles east of Tucson. Amerind on-campus housing is available at no cost to qualified researchers. Kitchen and laundry facilities are available. The scholar must provide their own food and transportation.

Visiting scholars are welcome to utilize our collections or to work on their own writing for proposed publications. Scholars have access to our 22,000 volume anthropological library of books and periodicals, and a wireless internet connection with Jstor access.

Letters of application should outline what kind of research or writing project will be accomplished during the scholar’s stay at the Amerind Foundation. Please include a brief résumé.
