The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $163,906 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program (CFDA 45.163) to the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) to host two one-week workshops in July 2025. The workshops, titled "Land as Archive: Natural and Human Histories of the New York Botanical Garden," will bring together 20 participants from humanities fields to develop analytical and practical skills for integrating scientific, traditional ecological, environmental humanities, and archival knowledge into place-based research and teaching focused on NYBG's rich ecology and history as a National Historic Landmark. NYBG's team of humanists and scientists, along with guest scholars, will lead lectures, discussions, and hands-on explorations of the institution's archives and land.
