National Anthropological Archives Receives Grant from President's Committee
on the Arts and Humanities

USA

WASHINGTON, DC.- The Smithsonian’s National Anthropological Archives has
received a $323,000 “Save America’s Treasures” grant from the President’s
Committee on the Arts and the Humanities. The grant will ensure long-term
preservation and better access to the Archives’ endangered-languages
manuscripts.

The National Anthropological Archives is the nation’s principal repository
of original documentation for spoken, endangered and extinct Native American
languages. Approximately 250 American Indian languages are represented in
the collection. For many of these languages documentation exists nowhere
else.
