December 2020 – Carnegie Hall, the National World War I Memorial in Washington and the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library in Indianapolis are among the 213 beneficiaries of new grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities that were announced on Wednesday.
The grants, which total $32.8 million, will support projects in 44 states, as well as in Washington and Puerto Rico, at museums, libraries, universities and historic sites. They will enable the production of an interactive timeline of African-American music at Carnegie Hall, preserve collections of Appalachian history at Appalshop archives in Kentucky, and support the use of X-ray spectroscopy to better understand color in the ancient world at the University of Michigan’s Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.
