Division of Preservation and Access
The Division of Preservation and Access provides leadership and support
to preserve humanities collections in America's libraries, museums, archives,
and historical organizations. The Division also helps ensure intellectual
access to these collections for research, education, and public programming
in the humanities. Grants support the creation of major reference works--dictionaries,
atlases, encyclopedias, and databases--that document the history and culture
of the United States and the world.
In fiscal year 2000, the division completed the twelfth year of an initiative for the preservation of brittle books and serials. When the thirty-six microfilming projects (eight funded this year) at libraries are finished, the intellectual content of approximately 992,300 embrittled volumes and 435,000 pages of foreign newsprint will be preserved.
Newspapers chronicle the daily life of America's citizens across the country. They document the civic, legal, historical, and cultural events that have occurred in every region of the nation during the past three hundred years. All fifty states, two U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia are now involved in the Endowment's United States Newspaper Program, a national initiative to catalog and preserve on microfilm the country's newspapers on a state-by-state basis. At the conclusion of currently funded NEH newspaper projects, more than 146,800 newspaper titles will be available in a national database and approximately 60.5 million deteriorating newspaper pages will have been transferred onto microfilm.
Grants made in fiscal year 2000 also preserve, stabilize, and provide intellectual access to a variety of museum, archival, and other collections that are important for the study of American cultural, social, economic, ethnic, military, and political history; African and African American history and culture; native Alaskan history; Jewish history and culture; the history of art, architecture, and music; and the history of colonial Spanish America. The collections represent a range of formats including architectural drawings; textiles; historic wallpaper; rare books and pamphlets; correspondence, manuscripts, and other documents; maps; photographs, glass plate negatives and moving images; musical scores; sound recordings; and artifacts. The grants provide preservation and access activities at 151 institutions in forty-seven states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
Among the research tools and reference works that received support this year are projects to create historical dictionaries, including the Dictionary of Old English, the Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon, and the Pennsylvania Sumerian Dictionary. A grant to the University of Chicago provided support to produce the final volumes of the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary. Support went for two multivolume, international encyclopedias-the Encyclopædia Iranica and the Encyclopedia of Islam. The Encyclopedia of Islam will be completed with this grant. Among the bibliographical works supported are the English Short Title Catalog, Black African Literature in English, 1997-1999, and the Répertoire International de la Presse Musicale (RIPM). By supporting the updating of existing databases to current standards, the Division will broaden the use of important electronic resources. The PhiloBiblon Project will make available via the World Wide Web a bio-bibliographical database of Iberian medieval and early modern culture; the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae will adopt new text encoding formats and develop software for network distribution of its extensive database of Greek literature, currently available on CD-ROM. In addition, the Forest History Society will expand and update a bibliographical database of more than twenty-five thousand entries on environmental history, making it available on the World Wide Web for the benefit of researchers and students seeking to explore humans' relationship to nature.
To foster the next generation of libraries, the NEH joined other federal agencies in sponsoring the Digital Library Initiative, conducted by the National Science Foundation. In fiscal year 2000, the Endowment's participation in this initiative supported five projects for the preservation and accessibility of humanities resources in digital form. These projects directly relate to the creation and use of humanities resources for the study of American history, classical music, philosophy, ancient Sumerian culture, and Chinese language and philosophy.
A new grant category, Preservation Assistance Grants, began in 2000 to reach organizations that do not usually compete for NEH funding. Awards of up to $5,000 support preservation assessments, consultations, training, and supplies and equipment. In this first year, the awards went to 132 institutions in 41 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. One example is the Old Mission State Park, Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, in Cataloo, which received a grant of $3,916 to hire a conservator who will conduct an on-site assessment and help draft a long-range plan to preserve the park's collections. The Skokomish Indian Tribe in Shelton, Washington received a grant of $5,000 to consult with a conservator, who will help the staff create a plan for the storage of the tribal center's collections. The University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama, received a $5,000 grant to identify the preservation needs of the university's archives.
