AASLH Members Receive More Than $1 Million in Grants from NEH and IMLS

This summer, more than thirty AASLH member institutions were awarded prestigious grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). These grants, representing funds of more than $1 million, will be used to develop teacher workshops, expand exhibits, digitize primary sources, film documentaries, protect collections, and many other worthy projects. We congratulate our members on the hard work that led to these awards, and look forward to seeing the results of these endeavors.
