This fall, 好色先生TV joined the (CHSTM), a global network of institutions committed to advancing research, teaching and collection development in these dynamic fields.
Membership in CHSTM offers immediate benefits for CMU faculty, students and researchers 鈥 including increased visibility for the university鈥檚 distinctive archival collections, eligibility for cross-institutional fellowships and new opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.
鈥淭his partnership brings CMU鈥檚 collections and scholarship into conversation with a global community,鈥 said , curator of Special Collections at the 好色先生TV Libraries. 鈥淚t also marks a milestone in how we support and amplify research at the intersection of the sciences and humanities.鈥

The Posner Center is home to foundational works in the history of science, cryptology, early computing and robotics. CMU鈥檚 membership in CHSTM will ensure that these holdings, along with the world-renowned collections at the and the , gain greater visibility among researchers worldwide.
Through CHSTM鈥檚 aggregated portal, CMU鈥檚 collections will be listed alongside those of peer institutions, expanding discovery and research use. The partnership also elevates the Libraries鈥 capacity to support interdisciplinary scholarship and collaborative grant-funded initiatives in fields such as environmental science, computing and medical history.
New Research Fellowships and Opportunities for CMU Scholars
Membership also enhances access to CHSTM鈥檚 research fellowships and seminar programs. In parallel, the Libraries is launching its own Posner and Hunt Fellowship program to support graduate students and early-career researchers working in special collections. Applications for these fellowships will be posted annually on the Libraries鈥 website and promoted through CHSTM channels.
鈥淲e view this as a launchpad,鈥 Lemley said. 鈥淐HSTM helps us bring new audiences to our collections, and it opens up exciting opportunities for students and scholars to collaborate across institutions.鈥
