Last year, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation partnered to create Humanities Open Book, a grant program that offers awards up to $100,000 to support digitization, rights clearance, and public dissemination of primarily out-of-print, in-copyright humanities scholarship. The program aims to give new life to a broad swath of publications in the humanities, many of which are quite difficult to access and read today.

 

The next Humanities Open Book deadline is coming up on September 13, 2016. This year, we hope to draw applications from a diverse range of institutional types including libraries, museums, historical societies, university presses, independent research centers, and other non-profit presses in the humanities.

 

I will be offering two short webinars in the next few weeks to further discuss the program and to answer questions. The same webinar will take place on Tuesday, June 7th, at 3pm EDT, and Monday, July 11th, at 1pm EDT. Click the link below to register for the day/time you plan to attend:

Thank you,
