The National Endowment for the Humanities invites historical societies, libraries, archives, museums, colleges and other local institutions to apply for the Common Heritage grant program, the first federal grant program of its kind.

Grants will support day-long events, organized by community cultural institutions, in which members of the public will be invited to share materials important to their family or community histories, such as photographs, artifacts, family letters, and works of art. The items will then be digitized. Grants will also be used for public programming – including lectures, exhibits, discussion programs, and film screenings.
