History

'The Harold White Fellowships supported annual fellowships to established researchers and writers. It supported 150 researchers until 2014. Established by the Council of the National Library of Australia in 1983 as the National Library Fellowships, the first Fellows commenced their research at the Library in 1984. The fellowships were renamed in honour of Sir Harold White CBE (1905-1992), the first National Librarian, in 1985.' (https://www.nla.gov.au/awards-and-grants/harold-white-fellowships
