CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Chairman’s letter
December 2014
Dear Mr. President,
It is my privilege to present the 2013 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the
Humanities. For forty-eight years NEH has striven through its rigorous grantmaking process to
support excellence in humanities research, education, preservation, access to humanities collections,
long-term planning for educational and cultural institutions, and humanities programming for the
public. NEH’s 1965 founding legislation states that “democracy demands wisdom and vision in its
citizens.” It is in response to this mission that NEH supports work in the humanities that enlightens
and deepens our understanding of the world.
In September 2013, NEH launched its Created Equal initiative centered on a collection of four
NEH-funded lms—The Abolitionists, Slavery by Another Name, The Loving Story, and Freedom Riders—
that trace the long history of civil rights in our nation. From the beginning, African Americans have
been at the core of America’s evolving story about the changing meaning of freedom. Through
free access to the lms, website resources, and public discussion programs held in more than four
hundred communities across the nation over the next three years, Created Equal will help make this
aspect of our history accessible to everyone.
At NEH, we also believe that access to the classics should be for everyone, in particular to
America’s military veterans who are returning home from conicts abroad. A 2013 grant to Aquila
Theatre is helping to bring a series of scholar-led discussions and performances of classical Greek
and Roman dramas to military veterans across the country. The project includes a website and a
mobile app with essays and interviews on how these ancient works resonate today.
The observations and theories of a scientist a hundred and fty years ago still inuence the eld
today. To better understand the work of Charles Darwin, the American Museum of Natural History
is using an NEH grant to digitize 30,000 scientic manuscripts and letters produced and received
by Darwin for access via the Darwin Manuscripts Project and Darwin Correspondence Project
websites, as well as the Cambridge Digital Library. Another website passed a milestone this year—
Chronicling America, a free searchable database of historical U.S. newspapers, supported by NEH
and the Library of Congress, posted its 5 millionth page in 2013.
Digital technology is changing how humanities professionals practice their craft, in ways that were
hard to imagine just a decade ago. A new project will allow researchers to rene the use of facial
recognition software to identify the subjects of centuries-old portraits, while another is developing
visualization and analytical tools based on a prototype that mapped the Republic of Letters, an inter-
national community of literati and scholars from the late Renaissance through the Enlightenment.
Although online research is an invaluable asset, there is also an immeasurable benet in visiting
the places where history was made. Through the Landmarks of American history, each summer
thousands of K–12 teachers from around the country travel to historic sites—such as Michigan’s
The Henry Ford’s Greeneld Village and the River Rouge factory to study the Industrial Revolu-
tion or Chicago to study the development of the skyscraper and its impact on urbanization—and
take a renewed energy and understanding back to their classrooms. The effect of such learning is
exponential.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
It is the diligent work of researchers who make possible new insights into the human condition.
From the publication of little-known materials of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show when it stormed the
capitals of England and Europe between 1887–1906, to the reassembly and interpretation of early
Mayan murals discovered at San Bartolo, Guatemala, grants funded in research bring resources to
scholars and general audiences that are critical to our collective knowledge.
Sustaining humanities resources is also critical to the long-term endurance of the eld. A 2013
challenge grant and matching funds helped restore buildings at the newly opened historic site of
Arkansas’s Dyess Colony, a place where impoverished farmers resettled during the New Deal,
including the family of Johnny Cash. Another grant for construction and an endowment will
secure the preservation of the endangered Coast Salish culture and language at Northwest
Indian College in Washington state.
Through the programs and work of fty-six state and territorial humanities councils, NEH is
able extend the reach of the humanities in ways that touch local concerns. In Arizona, the
humanities council supported a guide to Tucson’s twentieth-century tradition of neon sign
advertising, including one that was designed by Georgia O’Keeffe. And, in Maryland, the council
supported a traveling exhibition and lm on the exquisite and heartbreaking needlework series
made by Holocaust survivor Esther Nisenthal Krinitz that documented her and her family’s story
in Poland. Krinitz’s art will ensure the story is never forgotten.
Last, another piece of art from a new American deserves to be mentioned—that of the newly
designed National Humanities Medal. Bestowed for the rst time on the 2013 medalists, the design was
created by a recent immigrant from the Philippines and was chosen through a national competition.
Sincerely,
Acting Chairman, National Endowment for the Humanities

INTRODUCTION
the national endowment for the humanities
In order “to promote progress and scholarship in the humanities and the arts in the United
States,” Congress enacted the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965.
This act established the National Endowment for the Humanities as an independent grant-
making agency of the federal government to support research, education, and public programs
in the humanities. In scal year 2013, grants were made through the Federal/State Partnership,
four divisions (Education Programs, Preservation and Access, Public Programs, and Research
Programs), the Ofce of Challenge Grants, and the Ofce of Digital Humanities.
The act that established the National Endowment for the Humanities says, “The term
‘humanities’ includes, but is not limited to, the study of the following: language, both modern
and classical; linguistics; literature; history; jurisprudence; philosophy; archaeology; comparative
religion; ethics; the history, criticism, and theory of the arts; those aspects of social sciences
which have humanistic content and employ humanistic methods; and the study and application
of the humanities to the human environment with particular attention to reecting our diverse
heritage, traditions, and history and to the relevance of the humanities to the current conditions
of national life.”
The National Endowment for the Humanities supports exemplary work to advance and
disseminate knowledge in all the disciplines of the humanities. Endowment support is intended
to complement and assist private and local efforts and to serve as a catalyst to increase
nonfederal support for projects of high quality. To date, NEH matching grants have helped
generate more than $2.4 billion in gift funds. Each application to the Endowment is assessed
by knowledgeable persons outside the agency who are asked for their judgments about the
quality and signicance of the proposed project. More than 800 scholars, professionals in the
humanities, and other experts served on 183 panels throughout the year.
The following lists of grants include all funds that were released in 2013, including funds
that were amendments to earlier grants. For example, a summer institute awarded $170,000 in
2012 may have received an additional $10,000 in 2013 for follow-up activities. Additionally, many
NEH grants receive matching funds, which are only released when the private gift donations are
secured, perhaps over the course of several years. These matching funds awarded in 2013 are
indicated by a single asterisk (*) throughout. A double asterisk (* *) denotes a Chairman’s grant,
which is a fast-track grant awarded up to $30,000 at the discretion of the chairman of NEH. For
more complete information on any project, please use the grant search tool on the NEH website,

JEFFERSON LECTURE

Jefferson leCture
On April 1, 2013, Academy Award-winning lmmaker Martin Scorsese presented the forty-
second Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities in the Concert Hall at The John F. Kennedy Center
for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. He spoke about the urgency to save lms that are
in danger of being lost, and the inspiration and lessons that these lms offer to the visual literacy
of audiences and lmmakers today. The lecture, titled “The Persistence of Vision: Reading the
Language of Cinema,” was followed by an informal, onstage Q & A with lm critic Kent Jones.
The evening began with a lm clip from the 1950 British movie The Magic Box, about the life and
work of William Friese-Greene, one of the inventors of moving pictures, as he excitedly runs to
the street and pulls in a passing policeman (played by Lawrence Olivier) to view the culmination of
his life’s work: a two-minute movie of people in Hyde Park. Scorsese was eight years old when his
father took him to see this movie. “I’ve never really gotten over the impact that it had,” he said. “I
believe this is what ignited in me the wonder of cinema, and the obsession—of watching movies,
making them, inventing them.” Scorsese went on to earn a master’s from the New York University
School of Film and direct fty-nine movies, including The Departed, which won an Academy Award
in 2007 (he’s had eight other lms nominated) and a Golden Globe. His lms Hugo and Gangs of
New York also won Golden Globes. In 1990 he helped found The Film Foundation, a nonprot
devoted to preserving the history of motion pictures.
As a sickly child growing up in New York City, Scorsese’s main outlet was watching movies.
He spoke about the lms that were early inuences on his worldview and lmmaking aspirations—
the train scene shot by the Lumiere brothers, Impossible Voyage by Georges Méliès, and Michael
Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s The Red Shoes, which Scorsese showed clips from as an example
of the preservation efforts being done at his Film Foundation. “It took years to get this going and
was quite expensive,” Scorsese explained. “You must bear in mind that The Red Shoes was shot in the
old three-strip Technicolor technology with very heavy cameras that had not one but three rolls of
lm going through them at the same time. None of this would have been possible before digital
technology.”
Scorsese lamented that the technology came too late for many lms to be saved. “Over 90
percent of all silent cinema is gone. Lost forever,” he reminded us. “Every time a silent picture by
some miracle turns up like John Ford’s lm he made in 1927 called Upstream, which was recently
discovered by the National Film Preservation Foundation in an archive in New Zealand—every
time one of those shows up we have to remind ourselves that there are hundreds, maybe thousands
more that are gone forever. So we have to take really good care of what’s left. Everything, from the
acknowledged masterworks of cinema to industrial lms and home movies, anthropological lms.
Anything that could tell us who we are.”

President Barack Obama awarded the 2013 National Humanities Medals during a ceremony held
at the White House in July 2014. Nine individuals and one organization were honored for their
exemplary contributions to the humanities. This year inaugurated a new medal designed by artist
Paul Balan and selected through a national competition run by the National Endowment for the
Humanities.
The National Humanities Medal, rst awarded in 1989 as the Charles Frankel Prize, honors
individuals or groups whose work has deepened the nation’s understanding of the humanities,
broadened our citizens’ engagement with the humanities, or helped preserve and expand Americans’
access to important resources in the humanities.
Medal recipients do not compete for this award but are selected by the president for their lifelong
achievements in their diverse areas of expertise. Their achievements were cited at the White House
ceremony.
M. H. Abrams
Literary critic, for expanding our perceptions of the Romantic tradition and broadening the study
of literature. As a professor, writer, and critic, Dr. Abrams has traced the modern concept of artistic
self-expression in Western culture, and his work has inuenced generations of students.
American Antiquarian Society
Historical organization, for safeguarding the American story. Through more than two centuries, the
Society has amassed an unparalleled collection of historic American documents, served as a research
center to scholars and students alike, and connected generations of Americans to their cultural
heritage.
David Brion Davis
Historian, for reshaping our understanding of history. A World War II veteran, Dr. Davis has shed
light on the contradiction of a free Nation built by forced labor, and his examinations of slavery and
abolitionism drive us to keep making moral progress in our time.
William Theodore de Bary
East Asian Studies scholar, for broadening our understanding of the world. Dr. de Bary’s efforts to
foster a global conversation have underscored how the common values and experiences shared by
Eastern and Western cultures can be used to bridge our differences and build trust.
Darlene Clark Hine
Historian, for enriching our understanding of the African American experience. Through prolic
scholarship and leadership, Dr. Hine has examined race, class, and gender and shown how the
struggles and successes of African American women shaped the Nation we share today.
Johnpaul Jones
Architect, for honoring the natural world and indigenous traditions in architecture. A force behind
diverse and cherished institutions, Mr. Jones has fostered awareness through design and created
spaces worthy of the cultures they reect, the communities they serve, and the environments they
inhabit.

Stanley Nelson
Producer and director, for documenting the story of African Americans through
lm. By turning a camera on both the well-known and unknown narratives of
African Americans, Mr. Nelson has exposed injustice and triumph while revealing
new depths of our Nation’s history.
Diane Rehm
Radio host, for illuminating the people and stories behind the headlines. In probing
interviews with pundits, poets, and Presidents, Ms. Rehm’s incisive, condent, and
curious voice has deepened our understanding of our communities and our culture.
Anne Firor Scott
Historian, for pioneering the study of southern women. Through groundbreaking
research spanning ideology, race, and class, Dr. Scott’s uncharted exploration
into the lives of southern women has established women’s history as vital to our
understanding of the American South.
Krista Tippett
Radio host and author, for thoughtfully delving into the mysteries of human
existence. On the air and in print, Ms. Tippett avoids easy answers, embracing
complexity and inviting people of all faiths, no faith, and every background to join
the conversation.
