The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is a grant-making agency
of the U.S. federal government that supports projects in the humanities.
Eligible applicants are: U.S. nonprofit associations, institutions, and
organizations, as well as U.S. citizens and foreign nationals who have
been legal residents in the United States for a period of at least the
three years immediately preceding the submission of the application.
NEH's Division of Preservation and Access funds projects that will
create, preserve and increase the availability of resources important
for research, education, and public programming in the humanities.
Awards are provided to preserve the intellectual content and aid
bibliographic control of collections; to compile bibliographies,
descriptive catalogs, and guides to cultural holdings; to create
dictionaries, encyclopedias, databases, and other types of research
tools and reference works; and to stabilize material culture collections
through the appropriate housing and storing of objects, improved
environmental control, and the installation of security, lighting, and
fire-prevention systems. Applications may also be submitted for national
and regional education and training projects, regional preservation
field service programs, and research and demonstration projects that are
intended to enhance institutional practice and the use of technology for
preservation and access.
Projects may encompass collections of books, journals, newspapers,
manuscript and archival materials, maps, still and moving images, sound
recordings, and objects of material culture held by libraries, archives,
museums, historical organizations, and other repositories.
The Division has a single, annual DEADLINE for applications, JULY 1.
