What kinds of projects and formats are eligible for a Preservation & Access grant?

Examples of activities and formats include:
- Organizing a panel and facilitated community discussion about challenging and relevant issues;
- Developing thought-provoking community engagement for exhibitions, publications, films, or performances
- Creating humanities guides or essays or other materials to complement a program and that provide access to expertise and deeper questions on the issue;
- Creating and launching media—film, podcasts, sound recordings, and online media;
- Designing a collaboration between humanities and science communities that helps to more deeply explore a challenging and relevant issue
- Community meetings, workshops, symposia, and similar gatherings for non-academic audiences;
- Creating an interpretive exhibit that helps us dive more deeply into historical and contemporary issues
- Developing a guided tour of a historic site
- Developing a historical theater performance
- Research in the humanities and presentation of results to the community;
- Preserving an important cultural resource in a way that increases public access to the materials (e.g. creating an online archive or a database).
