Ramona Martinez Given Townsend Fellowship

Reference librarian and Boalt Express manager Ramona Martinez has been awarded a Townsend Library Fellowship for the coming academic year. The Townsend Fellowship is the longest running program of UC Berkeley’s Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities. Each year, one fellowship slot is held for a campus librarian whose research proposal is chosen by the center. Martinez, whose research focuses on the early history of California Supreme Court case reporting, will attend weekly meetings with the other Townsend Fellows. They consist of graduate students and both junior and senior faculty who are working on individual projects.
