NEH and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Announce Fellowships for Digital Publication

From the National Endowment for the Humanities:

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is proud to join the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in announcing the recipients of the first round of NEH-Mellon Fellowships for Digital Publication. The new special opportunity within NEH’s fellowship program is intended to stimulate the emerging field of digital publication.
Each of the eight projects receiving funding was conceived as digital because the nature of the research and the topics addressed demanded presentation beyond traditional print publication.

The world of digital publishing is still evolving and expanding. To accommodate this, the application guidelines for this special opportunity were intentionally left open to interpretation, resulting in a wide variety of applications. The projects being funded this year cover a broad range of subjects, running the gamut from a new tool that will allow users to discover construction costs for ancient buildings to an interactive map of Renaissance Venice that will include videos, 3D models, and scholarly essays.
This is the first of three years that the NEH-Mellon Fellowship for Digital Publication will be awarded. After 2018, the National Endowment for the Humanities will continue to support digital scholars through its fellowship program. The Endowment hopes that showing support for the field of digital publication through this special program will encourage more applicants to come forward in the future, even after the special opportunity comes to an end.
