The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded a $465,000 Project Grant to the Library of Virginia Foundation under the Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access federal grant program (CFDA 45.149).

The grant will support the Library of Virginia in digitizing and providing online access to its extensive collection of approximately 250,000 World War II separation notices dating from 1942 to 1950.

This will promote preservation of the historical records and improve access for humanities researchers and public engagement with the personal stories contained in the notices. The total estimated cost of the digitization project is $715,000.
