Good Fellows
The three recipients of the 2014 Woest Fellowship share stories from their research residencies at The Collection.
The Dianne Woest Fellowship in the Arts and Humanities is a yearly award given out bv THNOC to support scholars researching Louisiana and Gulf South history and culture. Named for philanthropist Dianne Audrey Woest (1935-2003) and supported by an endowment from her estate, the fellowship is open to doctoral candidates, academic and museum professionals, and independent scholars.

Below, the 2014 fellows discuss their projects and progress.
