Deborah Slingluff (Project Director: May 2005 to March 2011)

Endowment for a librarian, acquisitions, and cataloguing in support of the Stulman Jewish Studies program.

Johns Hopkins seeks to partner with NEH to help sustain its legacy of distinguished teaching and research by endowing collections and key positions at the Sheridan Libraries that will help propel the Stulman Jewish Studies program to national significance. With the Challenge Grant and accompanying private funds, Johns Hopkins will create and endow the position of Jewish Studies Librarian and provide additional permanent support for Jewish Studies research collections and related cataloging initiatives.
