Description
Oklahoma Humanities offers funding for the digitization, maintenance, modernization, and sustainability of existing humanities collections. The program brings preservation and access together: projects should ensure that primary resources remain available over the long term and can be accessed widely. Its focus is collections and cultural heritage resources of importance for humanities research, education, and public programming.
Oklahoma Humanities is an independent nonprofit and the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. This funding category supports its broader work using humanities disciplines to explore the human experience, introduce new perspectives, and strengthen civic engagement. The grant evaluation rubric considers humanities content, organizational capacity, public access, scholar participation, audience outreach, and the reasonableness of the proposed budget.
