Mt. SAC Library Awarded National Endowment Grant to Further the College Digital History Project

The Mt. SAC Library is thrilled to announce that we have received a prestigious grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for a 3-year project titled "Promoting Equity by Examining College History Through Digital Photos." Mt. SAC is one of only five institutions nationally to receive a grant through this initiative. The funding, totaling $149,949.00, will be used to expand a digital photo collection that documents the history of Mt. SAC, incorporates the use of the photo collection across the humanities and other academic disciplines, and promotes digital preservation on campus and in surrounding communities.  

We look forward to the positive impact this grant will have and are excited to continue the library’s  mission of meeting the needs of our students and diverse communities through cultivating knowledge creation and discovery, innovation, and academic, professional, and personal achievement.
