The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has announced the Chair’s Disaster Recovery Grants for Humanities Collections program to help humanities organizations that steward collections respond to and recover from local, state, regional, and federally declared disasters, including fires, floods, hurricanes, mudslides, and climate-related disasters. There is currently an open call for applications from organizations affected by the Hurricane and Tropical Storm Helene and Hurricane Milton.
Emergency response and recovery activities may include salvaging humanities collections such as rare books, documents, photographs, artwork, sculptures, historical objects, audiovisual media, and digital collections.
Preservation field services networks and consortia that support collecting institutions’ efforts to respond to and recover from emergencies impacting cultural heritage collections are also eligible to apply.
Applications to this open call for the Chair’s Disaster Recovery Grants for Humanities Collections from organizations affected by Hurricane and Tropical Storm Helene and Hurricane Milton will be accepted on a rolling basis until April 25, 2025.
