NEH encourages projects on lost or imperiled cultural heritage
As a result of armed conflict, war, looting, natural disasters, economic development, poor management, and tourism, humanity’s cultural legacy is under increasing duress.
In recognition of this multifaceted problem, NEH has issued a special encouragement for projects that conduct research and develop resources for the study, documentation, and presentation of imperiled cultural heritage materials.
