Division of Collections & Infrastructure All Divisions and Offices Division of Collections & Infrastructure For more information about the Division of Collections & Infrastructure: NEH’s Division of Collections & Infrastructure makes grants to organizations that seek to address the physical deterioration of their humanities collections as well as to provide access to them, including through digital methods.
The division’s grant programs result in cultural resources that are easy to find and use, and that are preserved for future generations, as well as new tools and methods in preservation and access and knowledgeable and skilled cultural heritage practitioners.
In this sense, research, education, and appreciation of the humanities depend on the foundational work of the Division of Collections & Infrastructure in preserving cultural heritage materials and making them available to scholars, teachers, and the general public.
The Division also supports the nation’s humanities infrastructure through “challenge” programs that enable humanities organizations to strengthen their financial stability and to advance the humanities through projects with long-term impact. Challenge awards typically require the recipient to raise one to four dollars in new donations from non-federal sources for each federal dollar received.
