The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded the Presbyterian Historical Society $330,678 under the Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access federal grant program (CFDA 45.149) to digitize, describe, and provide online open access to approximately 22,500 photographs and associated documents from the Religious News Service Photograph Collection from 1945 to 1982. This two-and-a-half year project will expand on prior work conducted under a 2019 NEH planning grant to develop digitization, description, access, and preservation strategies for a pilot collection of 493 photographs. Upon completion in December 2025, the Presbyterian Historical Society will have preserved and provided intellectual access to this primary source material through freely available digital surrogates, expanding the reach and impact of these historical resources.
