The Hill Museum & Manuscript Library (HMML) at Saint John’s University has received $1,408,474 in grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support its mission to preserve and share the world’s handwritten heritage. The grant will fund a three-year project to catalog 53,000 digitized manuscripts and create an online database of authors and titles originating from under-represented or little-known literary traditions. Of the total amount, $1,208,474 is an outright grant, and $200,000 must be matched by funds raised by HMML.
