Three Brooklyn-based projects, two with the City University of New York, were awarded grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The grants are grouped under specific categories, including Preservation Assistance Grants and Public Scholars, which the CUNY projects won. The CUNY Research Foundation at Brooklyn College is receiving $10,000 in these categories for its Haitian Studies Institute Environmental Monitoring Project, under the direction of Marie Cerat, which involves the purchase of environmental monitoring equipment and shelving, as well as the development of an environmental monitoring program for the Haitian Studies Institute’s archives.
