NEH Challenge Grant I shared earlier exciting news that the HBCU Library Alliance will receive a $365,000 NEH challenge grant for the Building Capacity for Humanities Special Collections at HBCUs proposal. The five-year project will be conducted in partnership with the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA).
