About the company
Newberry Library is a tax-exempt, not-for-profit research institution located in Chicago, Illinois, that has maintained federal registration since 2004 to receive grant funding from the U.S. government. The organization serves as a major cultural and educational institution that leverages federal grant awards to support its core mission of preserving rare collections, providing public access to humanities resources, and advancing scholarly research and education. Newberry Library operates primarily through project grants rather than federal contracts, positioning itself as a recipient of funding from prestigious federal agencies dedicated to supporting the humanities and arts.
Newberry Library's federal grant portfolio demonstrates a robust commitment to preservation, digitization, education, and public programming across multiple humanities disciplines. Since 2021, the library has successfully secured substantial project grants from both the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), totaling over $1 million in recent awards. NEH grants have supported critical preservation initiatives, including the digitization of the Edward E. Ayer North and Middle American Indian Linguistics Collection (2,400 rare books representing over 300 indigenous languages), the improvement and rehousing of 12,000 rare and historical maps in flat file storage ($347,130), and the development of a comprehensive 20-year preventative preservation plan to assess capital improvement needs. The library has also received substantial NEH funding for professional development programs, including a three-week residential institute titled "250 Years of Teaching with Maps: Maps in the Making of US Education" targeting 25 K-12 educators ($179,005), and a summer faculty institute on Chicago modernism. Additionally, NEA grants have supported exhibitions and related public programming, including exhibitions on printing on fabric, Indigenous engagement with American popular culture, and the art and history of pop-up books. All awards have been structured as prime grants with no identified sub-partners, reflecting Newberry Library's position as a primary recipient and implementing organization for federally-funded humanities initiatives.
