We are excited to announce that the UHA has been awarded funding from the American Historical Association’s Grants to Sustain and Advance the Work of Historical Organizations Program, which provides relief to institutions adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, an opportunity made possible with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. With this support, the UHA will be able to put into effect a multi-pronged effort that includes rebuilding services disrupted by the pandemic, introducing new efforts to help the UHA more fully take advantage of the opportunities for engaging and promoting its members online, and adopting new initiatives intended to strengthen and diversify the UHA’s revenue streams.

The UHA would like to express our deepest gratitude to the AHA and NEH for awarding us this grant. We also send a special thank you to the previous UHA Executive Director, Hope Shannon, for all of her dedication and amazing work writing this grant.
