    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

    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.
