FYI - just saw this notice on grant funding:
NEH AND ALA OFFER FUNDING FOR LATIN-AMERICAN HISTORY PROGRAMMING
The National Endowment (NEH) for the Humanities and American Library Association (ALA) have a new program to encourage libraries, museums, community arts and cultural organizations, historical societies, and others to develop programming about Latina/o history. Inspired by the PBS documentary series Latino Americans<http://www.pbs.org/latino-americans/en/>, the "Latino Americans: 500 Years of History" program will distribute $1.5 million to support these programs. The application deadline is May 1.
The Latino Americans program goals include bringing scholarship on Latino American histories and cultures to new audiences; engaging people in examining and documenting the histories of Latino Americans in their communities; and fostering understanding of local histories in regional, national, and international contexts. It will offer funding and materials to support public film screenings, discussion groups, oral history initiatives, local history exhibitions, multi-media projects, performances and other programs.
To learn about grant guidelines and how to submit an online application, visit the ALA website<https://apply.ala.org/latinoamericans>. The program will select up to 200 sites to receive a Latino Americans grant, and will announce awards on June 15.
