Endowment for 1.5 additional humanities staff positions.

For nearly seventy years, the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) has been working to provide humanities programming for and with America's history organizations. Now, as the field of state and local history struggles to increase its capacity to preserve, present, and interpret America's heritage, AASLH has embarked upon a campaign to substantially increase its endowment and hire an additional 1.5 humanities program staff members so the association can offer direct humanities programming for the field as well as professional development services to help address targeted issues, and at the same time continue in its important role to help bridge the gap between humanities scholarship, history organizations, and the public.
