Humanities Open Book Program
Open Access Humanities Books Funded by the NEH and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
The Humanities Open Book Program was designed to make outstanding out-of-print humanities books available to a wide audience, and was jointly sponsored by NEH and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Over four years (2016-2019), the Humanities Open Book Program made 31 awards to university and non-profit presses to support the release of digital, open access editions of humanities books, released under a Creative Commons license.
