Opportunity Information: Apply for 20160512 PY
The Common Heritage program is a government grant opportunity aimed at preserving America's cultural heritage, which exists not only in formal institutions but also in personal homes and family histories. This initiative supports the digitization of cultural heritage materials and encourages public programming at community events that help showcase these materials, reflecting the history and culture of local communities.
Community cultural institutions will organize day-long events where members of the public can bring in historical items like photographs, documents, and artifacts for digitization. At these events, trained staff will digitize the materials and collect descriptive information from the contributors. Participants will receive a digital copy of their items, while originals can be returned, with digital versions possibly included in institutional collections, with the owners' consent.
Additionally, the program mandates the inclusion of public educational activities that enhance the community's understanding of its heritage. These could encompass lectures, discussions, workshops, and other formats designed to engage a broad audience. Events can occur before, during, or after the digitization day, and while specific topics can be proposed, they are not required.
Applicants are responsible for planning, promoting, and organizing the events, and they may need to collaborate with other local institutions to ensure a successful project. The program particularly encourages applications from small and medium-sized organizations that haven't previously received support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).Apply for 20160512 PY
