The Humanities Collections and Reference Resources (HCRR) Program offers grants to underpin scholarship, education, and public programming within the humanities. This funding strengthens efforts to preserve and enhance the accessibility of vital cultural materials held by libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations nationwide. Eligible materials include books, manuscripts, photographs, sound recordings, artifacts, and digital objects. The program supports projects focused on extending the life of these collections and making their intellectual content widely available, often through digital technology. Additionally, grants facilitate the creation of various reference resources, ranging from quick information tools to comprehensive knowledge synthesizers. HCRR provides two types of awards: implementation grants and HCRR Foundations grants for planning, assessment, and pilot initiatives.

| Description: | The Humanities Collections and Reference Resources (HCRR) program supports projects that provide an essential underpinning for scholarship, education, and public programming in the humanities. Thousands of libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations across the country maintain important collections of books and manuscripts, photographs, sound recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art and material culture, and digital objects. Funding from this program strengthens efforts to extend the life of such materials and make their intellectual content widely accessible, often through the use of digital technology. Awards are also made to create various reference resources that facilitate use of cultural materials, from works that provide basic information quickly to tools that synthesize and codify knowledge of a subject for in-depth investigation.
HCRR offers two kinds of awards: 1) for implementation and 2) for planning, assessment, and pilot efforts (HCRR Foundations grants). |
