In January 2024, the Book Lab received a three-year grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities within their “Humanities Initiatives” program to develop an undergraduate curriculum for a Minor in Book Studies. The NEH press release can be found at the address below, and includes a mention of our project specifically as well as a link to a full list of 2024 NEH-funded projects:
Our curriculum aims for the best of “immersive” undergraduate humanities archival research with widely transferable skills: primary source literacy, humanities literacy, information literacy, methods of experimentation and evaluation, creative making as a feature of research.
