BCHS Awarded NEH Grant

In August 2023, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) granted $150,000 in support of Mott Haven History Keepers, a project that aims to support existing history keepers in Mott Haven working outside of humanities institutions, expanding what counts as humanities work and who counts as humanities workers. This project will involve identifying five Mott Haven history keepers, pairing each with an apprentice, and connecting them with intellectual, financial, and archival resources. Columbia University’s Incite/Oral History Master of Arts (OHMA) and The Bronx County Historical Society (BCHS) have partnered to make this project possible.
