National Endowment for the Humanities announces award to support expansion of DPLA Hub network
The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded $250,000 to the Digital Public Library of America today, in support of DPLA’s effort to continue to build its network of Service Hubs across the United States. The funds will be used to help cover states that currently do not have an on-ramp, through a state or regional digital library, for their collections to get into DPLA’s national, open collection. The award is being made as part of NEH’s new Common Good initiative<http://us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=e1490d1305c4b651f3ad0ace4&id=2a66be3511&e=5248247d23>, which is highlighting and demonstrating the importance of the humanities to the general public.
“We see our mission of bringing the riches of America’s libraries, archives, and museums to everyone as in great harmony with Chairman Adams’ Common Good initiative,” said Dan Cohen, DPLA’s Executive Director. “We deeply appreciate receiving this funding under that banner, and look forward to working with NEH and its other grantees to connect public with the works of the humanities for years to come.”
The National Endowment for the Humanities has been a major supporter of DPLA from its inception. Today’s grant supplements the $1,000,000 that NEH provided to help launch DPLA in April 2013.
"These supplemental funds from NEH will allow us to continue to grow the map by supporting DPLA's efforts to assist in the development of new state and regional based Service Hubs," said Emily Gore, DPLA Director for Content. "The increase in hubs will allow us to come closer to reaching our goal of having an on-ramp to DPLA for all interested cultural heritage institutions in the US."
