NEH award for World History Commons
The Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (RRCHNM) is delighted to announce an award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (https://www.neh.gov/news/press-release/2018-08-08) (NEH) to create World History Commons in partnership with the World History Association (https://www.thewha.org) and Associate Professor Adam Clulow (http://profiles.arts.monash.edu.au/adam-clulow/) of Monash University (Australia).
World History Commons, an Open Educational Resource (OER), will provide high quality, peer-reviewed resources for teaching and research in world and global history. World History Commons will introduce new humanities scholarship and pedagogy while preserving and enhancing widely-used resources from World History Matters (http://worldhistorymatters.org), the award-winning, NEH-funded collection of world history websites, and the Global History Reader (http://artsonline.monash.edu.au/global-history), a collaboration between scholars at Monash University (https://www.monash.edu) and Warwick University (https://warwick.ac.uk) (UK).
World History Commons is one of 15 Digital Humanities Advancement Grants (https://www.neh.gov/grants/odh/digital-humanities-advancement-grants) funded through the Office of Digital Humanities (https://www.neh.gov/divisions/odh) and one of 218 humanities grants (https://www.neh.gov/news/press-release/2018-08-08) designed to support cultural infrastructure, humanities research, exhibitions, documentaries, education programs for teachers, and the preservation of historic collections.
