[OPLINLIST] Library Public Programming Grants for Civil War 150

[Janet Ingraham Dwyer]

>From the Library Grants blog:

 

The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, in partnership with
The Library of America, is now accepting applications from libraries and
National Park historic sites for grants to develop public programming
around the free traveling panel exhibition Civil War 150. The exhibition
is part of Civil War 150: Exploring the War and Its Meaning through the
Words of Those Who Lived It, a major three-year project funded by the
National Endowment for the Humanities. The project is centered on the
four-volume Library of America series The Civil War Told by Those Who
Lived It and includes a collection of readers (discussion guides) drawn
from the series.

 

Fifty sites selected by competitive application to host the Civil War
150 exhibition will each be awarded a grant of $1,000 to plan
accompanying public programming. The exhibition is available for
three-week periods from October 2012 to March 2015. Hosting sites will
also receive supporting interpretive and contextual materials, including
the Civil War 150 readers and access to a multimedia website with robust
digital resources. Public, academic, and special libraries as well as
National Park historic sites are invited to submit applications for the
public programming grants and exhibition. To apply, please visit
www.gilderlehrman.org/civilwar150grant .

 

 

Also, if your library is planning or participating in events
commemorating the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, consider adding
your programs to the Ohio Civil War 150 events calendar.  Go to
http://www.ohiocivilwar150.org/ to post your event, to learn about the
Ohio Historical Society's collections and exhibits about the Civil War,
and to find many excellent Civil War resources to aid your event
planning.

 

Sincerely,

Janet
