Libraries receives $250,000 grant
 The Libraries has been awarded a $250,000 Institute of Museum and Library Services grant for the "African American Theater History Project."
The funds will support creation of an online search tool that will bring together digitized archival materials from leading libraries and museums across the country, including Library of Congress, New York Public Library, the Smithsonian, Columbia University, and Tulane University Amistad Research Center.
The curated search tool will address African American cultural history, with a special focus on theater and the arts. The Libraries will also work with the Digital Public Library of America (dp.la) to contribute to DPLA's collection of materials related to African American history. This two-year project begins in January 2014.
