The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $349,300 Project Grant to the American Jewish Historical Society under the Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access program (CFDA 45.149). This 3-year project will process and digitize the regional office records series from the institutional archives of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which documents the organization's frontline initiatives to combat antisemitism, racism, and other forms of hate across over 25 locations in the United States. The project will ensure the long-term accessibility of these primary source materials and make them available for humanities scholarship, public programming, and civic education.

?fighting hate for good?: preserving and providing access to the archives of the anti-defamation league (ADL) [the american jewish historical society seeks a grant of $349,300 from the national endowment for the humanities in support of a three-year project to completely process and selectively digitize the regional office records series from the institutional archives of the anti-defamation league (ADL), which works globally to expose hate, secure justice, and protect democracy. This series (1,300 linear feet) documents frontline initiatives on both a national and local scale in over 25 locations across the united states to battle antisemitism, racism, and other manifestations of hate. The records include in-depth correspondence with ADL?S national headquarters, extensive records of local court cases and legislation, and photos compiled by local offices. This project will ensure the long-term accessibility of these extraordinary primary sources and enable them to be an accessible resource for local, national, and international humanities scholarship, public programming, and civic education.]
