Grants expand diversity

in American history

The National Archives (Archives), with generous

support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation,

will offer new grants aimed at expanding cultural

diversity in American history. Approximately $2.35

million will be made available for digital historical

records projects, and the National Historical

Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC)

will manage the new program.

“Thanks to our continued partnership with the

Mellon Foundation, we will be able to share and am-

plify the voices of previously marginalized groups,”

Archivist of the United States David S. Ferriero

said in a statement. “These are important voices in

American history and deserve to be heard…”

According to an Archives release, Start-Up

Grants for Collaborative Digital Editions in African

American, Asian American, Hispanic American, and

Native American History will include:

• Reaching out to minority researchers, espe-

cially those currently studying history and ethnic

studies, and providing specialized training and

support in documentary editing;

• Encouraging and supporting innovative and

collaborative re-thinking of American History—how

it is conceived, whose voices it centers, and for what

purposes; and,

• Promoting planning and development of

digital projects rooted in African American, Asian

American, Hispanic American, and Native American

history and ethnic studies; among other activities.

Eligible collaborative teams will include His-

torically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispan-

ic-Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges, and/or other

Indigenous and Native American tribal scholars and

community members, and members of the Asian

American community, Archives said. Priority will be

given to start-up projects on historical topics that

often fall outside the purview of mainstream history

and humanities textbooks.

The initial call for proposals deadline is June 9,

2021.
