Hi All ! Just a quick addendum to Judy Graves' kind note about these NEH grants that are available to educators: If any of you would like help in talking through a proposal idea, please feel free to contact those of us at CCT. We might also be able to look over draft proposals and respond if you like. This group has tremendous potential for helping educators learn to use American Memory and similar resources, and we want to help you do this, so let us know if we can... Best, Bill _______________________________________________________________________________ FYI - Judy 1998 and 1999 DEADLINE DATES FOR NEH EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT & DEMONSTRATION GRANTS The National Endowment for the Humanities supports school teachers and college faculty in the United States who wish to strengthen the teaching and learning of history, literature, foreign languages and cultures, and other areas of the humanities.
