Division of Public Programs

The Division of Public Programs expands understanding of the humanities through engaging and substantive projects that encourage lifelong learning. The projects include interpretive exhibitions and catalogs, radio and television programs, reading and film discussion groups, symposia, conferences, and interactive multimedia. The Division encourages projects that forge partnerships among cultural institutions and community-based groups, use innovative and accessible technology, explore ideas with regional or national significance, and reach new audiences.

Museum exhibitions funded in fiscal year 2000 range in topic from ancient Greece to space travel, from Papua New Guinea to the Rocky Mountains, from fishing and boating to the legacy of Michelangelo, from manor houses to wax museums. The Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina, received a grant to mount a traveling exhibition called The Sport of Life and Death: The Mesoamerican Ballgame. The show will explore a fundamental feature of ancient Mesoamerican cultural history--a popular team sport that inspired ancient artists to create great works glorifying the sport and its athletes. An accompanying website will feature virtual tours of archaeological sites, an interactive ballgame, and images of works in the exhibition. An online guide for teachers, with suggested classroom activities and student worksheets, will also be available.

Library programs funded by the Division in 2000 include reading and film discussion programs, panel exhibitions, a web-based exhibition, and a radio call-in program. The American Library Association's "StoryLines America: A Radio/Library Partnership Exploring Our Regional Literature" consists of thirteen one-hour radio call-in programs on books related to the Midwest. Broadcast throughout the region, each program focuses on a book selected by scholars and features discussions with historians, storytellers, literary critics, and other guests. All programs are taped and made available to libraries and individuals. Four earlier series were produced on the literature of the Northwest, Southwest, California, and the coastal Southeast.

A grant initiative was available for libraries to take advantage of two proven programs. Building on the success of the American Library Association's first "Let's Talk About It" reading and discussion programs, twenty libraries throughout the country received direct grants to host the next generation of these programs. Grants went to forty libraries nationwide to host a traveling version of a larger exhibition, "The Great Experiment: George Washington and the American Republic." The exhibition is accompanied by curriculum guides, an interpretive catalog, CD-ROM and website downloads, brochures, and training for library staff members. Based on the resources of the Huntington Library and the Morgan Library, the exhibition examines Washington's career, from the early years through his relinquishing of power.

In fiscal year 2000, the Jewish Women's Archive received a Special Projects grant to plan for community-based oral history projects in three cities. It will incorporate an interactive website and online archive of Jewish women's stories. Topics include domestic culture, life cycle and family roles, friendships and social networks, and Jewish culture and religion. The oral history projects will result in local exhibitions in the year 2004, the 350th anniversary of the first Jewish community on North American shores.

Radio and film projects funded in fiscal year 2000 will explore such topics as the history of religion in America, the international anti-apartheid movement, the golden age of Yiddish radio, and the lives of Benjamin Franklin and F. Scott Fitzgerald. One grant went to the Capital of Texas Public Telecommunications Council to produce a four-hour documentary film series on the development and use of the English language in contemporary America. The series will explore how Americans use their language and what it tells us about our culture. The producers plan to develop a companion book, an interactive website, and outreach programs.

As the convergence of television and the Internet becomes a reality, a new digital television initiative was launched to ensure that the humanities are integrated into programs with enhanced digital content. This initiative was jointly supported with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and marks the first time that the two organizations have collaborated on humanities programming. The Division made four prototype development grants for films on topics such as Woodrow Wilson's presidency and the Chinese Cultural Revolution. The Division's newest grant category, Consultation Grants, expanded its funding to institutions in states earmarked by the NEH-wide Extending the Reach initiative. The fifty projects receiving these $10,000 awards include a radio series on American dialects, an exhibition on Caribbean music, and a website on folklore.
