Discretionary

This Project Grant award of $150,000.00 from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under the National Historical Publications and Records Grants program (CFDA 89.003) supports the Amistad Research Center, a non-profit organization in New Orleans, Louisiana. The funding will enable the Center to enhance archival processing, preservation, and digital access to its collections documenting African American history, culture, and civil rights. Specific project activities include digitizing historical photographs, processing personal papers of significant African American leaders, implementing digital asset management systems, and creating online exhibitions to increase public access and understanding of the Center's holdings. This grant furthers the program's objectives to preserve, digitize, and provide public access to historical records and documentary sources related to United States history, with a focus on documenting underrepresented groups and making these materials more accessible to researchers and the general public.
