 The retention of six staff positions, the digitization of local historical microfilm, and the expansion of subscriptions to digital humanities online resources. 

The historic Carnegie Library of Homestead (CLoH) is applying to the National Endowment of the Humanities’ American Rescue Plan grant for $200,000. These funds will go towards the salary and fringe benefits of senior staff who oversee the Library’s humanities-related collections and programming. Additional funds will be used to digitize microfilm of local newspapers, the only records in many cases, that were inaccessible while the Library facilities were closed to the public in 2020.
