Description
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Preservation and Access is accepting applications for the Humanities Collections and Reference Resources program. This program supports projects that provide an essential underpinning for scholarship, education, and public programming in the humanities. It strengthens efforts to extend the reach of humanities collections and make their intellectual content widely accessible.
