Shalom, I hope some of our members have materials that trace the Jewish contributions to the American Revolution to add to this project. Upcoming and Rolling Deadlines in NEH's Division of Collections and Infrastructure Rediscovering Our Revolutionary Tradition A grant program from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), Rediscovering Our Revolutionary Tradition, honors the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the nation's principles of equality, liberty, and government by consent. The program supports activities to preserve and improve access to primary source materials that document:
Projects may work with collections that include archival records; documents and rare publications; art and material culture; and photographs and sound recordings. Supported activities include conservation treatment and rehousing, digitization and description, transcription and translation, and updating existing digital resources to ensure long-term public availability.
Celebrate America! Through this program, NEH will award 250 challenge grants of up to $25,000 each for projects that focus on the founding of the American nation, key historical figures, and milestones that reflect the exceptional achievements of the United States. As part of your application, you will need to certify that your organization has secured third-party, nonfederal gifts equal to the amount requested from NEH. Allowable activities include, but are not limited to: speakers, screenings, and discussion series; community events and family programs; exhibits; meetings, conferences, and symposia; digital projects and educational materials pertaining to the 250th.
A list of recently funded projects can be found here. National Digital Newspaper Program NDNP is a partnership between NEH and the Library of Congress (LOC) to create a national digital resource of historically significant newspapers published between 1690 and 1963 from all 56 states and U.S. jurisdictions. LOC permanently maintains this freely accessible, searchable online database (Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers). NEH makes awards to one institution in each state or jurisdiction to digitize historical newspapers for inclusion in this database.
