This Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program (CFDA 45.163) provides $186,928 to Gettysburg College to engage K-12 educators in two week-long workshops on the history and collective memory of the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War. The program, titled "On Hallowed Ground: Gettysburg in History & Memory", will be held in 2025 and aims to deepen participants' content knowledge and pedagogical tools for teaching these subjects. The workshops will leverage Gettysburg College's scholarly expertise to explore how perceptions of the past shape how history is documented and remembered, as well as what it means to be a citizen in a complex democracy. This grant builds on Gettysburg College's prior success hosting similar Landmarks programs in 2014 and 2022.
