Opportunity Information: Apply for P14AS00249
The National Park Service (NPS) intends to fund a project titled "Historic Resource Study Olmsteds and the National Park Service," with a total award amount of $59,941.97. This project will be managed by the Organization of American Historians, led by Aidan Smith. The agreement extends from the date of award until September 1, 2017, and it continues previous cooperative agreements.
The project focuses on documenting the historical relationship between Frederick Law Olmsted, his sons, and associates, and the NPS. Key aspects include investigating Olmsted's influence on conservation movements, his work on notable sites like Central Park and Yosemite, and the contributions of his son, Frederick Jr., to the establishment of the NPS in 1916. The study aims to produce a comprehensive report, which will be shared publicly in various formats, including an online interactive exhibit.
The NPS will play a significant role, collaborating closely with the organization to develop research scopes, select scholars, and provide access to necessary resources. The funding does not involve competitive applications, as it supports a continuation of existing work deemed continuity-critical. This effort aligns with the statutory authority permitting the NPS to partner with nonprofit organizations for the execution of programs aimed at public education and historic preservation.Apply for P14AS00249
