NEH/AHRC New Directions for Digital Scholarship in Cultural Institutions
The NEH/AHRC New Directions for Digital Scholarship in Cultural Institutions program was a joint initiative between the National Endowment for the Humanities and the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The overarching goal of the program was to advance digital scholarship in cultural institutions such as museums, libraries, galleries, and archives. This program funded teams in the US and UK working collaboratively to deliver transformational impact on digital methods and digital research in cultural institutions.
