Beginning in 1944 with a grant from the [[Rockefeller Foundation]], the Newberry began hosting researchers from different disciplines and backgrounds for both short- and long-term fellowships.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fellowships |url=https://www.newberry.org/research/fellowships |access-date=2024-04-28 |website=Newberry Library |language=en-US}}</ref> These fellows form a close community during their time at the Newberry and continue to build their relationships with one another and with the library long after they leave. Researchers with long-term fellowships spend four to nine months at the Newberry.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Long-Term Fellowships |url=https://www.newberry.org/research/fellowships/long-term-fellowships |access-date=2024-04-28 |website=Newberry Library |language=en-US}}</ref> Researchers with short-term fellowships spend one to two months at the library.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Short-Term Fellowships |url=https://www.newberry.org/research/fellowships/short-term-fellowships |access-date=2024-05-06 |website=Newberry Library |language=en-US}}</ref> Newberry fellows often produce works that stems from their research at the library.

The library offers a series of content-based professional development seminars for teachers. Led by scholars and educators from the Chicagoland area and beyond, these humanities-focused seminars create space for teachers to connect with peers, explore the Newberry’s collection as scholars, and learn to use primary sources in the classroom.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Teacher Programs |url=https://www.newberry.org/learn/teacher-programs |access-date=2024-04-28 |website=Newberry Library |language=en-US}}</ref>

The Newberry Library Undergraduate Seminar (NLUS) offers select students from [[DePaul University]], [[Loyola University Chicago]], [[Roosevelt University]], and the [[University of Illinois Chicago]] the chance to participate in an intensive research seminar inspired by the Newberry’s collection. During their semester at the library, students attend seminar meetings and learn to conduct research. Students work closely with Newberry staff to form research questions before venturing into the archives on their own. The seminar culminates in a major research paper and presentation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Programs for Undergraduates |url=https://www.newberry.org/learn/undergraduate-learning/programs-for-undergraduates |access-date=2024-05-06 |website=Newberry Library |language=en-US}}</ref>
