The Green-Wood Historic Fund, Inc. received a $666,666 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Challenge Grants program (CFDA 45.130) to construct a new 5,000 square foot Center for Research. This center will provide critical indoor space for humanities scholars and researchers to access the historic Green-Wood Cemetery's archives and collection. The new facility will include exhibit space, a reading room, climate-controlled archives room, lobby, and supporting spaces. This grant award is an integral part of Green-Wood's larger $20.9 million Education and Welcome Center project, which combines historic preservation of the 1893 Weir Greenhouse with new construction. The Center for Research will be a key component in enhancing Green-Wood's capacity to support humanities-focused programming and research access related to the cemetery's historic resources.
