The U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Humanities Research program (CFDA 45.161) to the Dominguez Hills Foundation California State University. This 2-year grant, commencing on January 1, 2024, will fund the publication of an open-access digital edition of the complete, unexpurgated letters written by American novelist Catharine Maria Sedgwick (1789-1867) to over 250 correspondents between 1827 and 1836. This project aims to publish Sedgwick's personal correspondence, which is seen as highly valuable given her status as a premier American woman writer of the early national period and her contributions to important cultural and political conversations of the time. The Dominguez Hills Foundation, a non-profit auxiliary supporting California State University, Dominguez Hills, is the prime recipient for this federal grant award.
