Abstract
NEH intends to award $491,049 to the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) for continued survey work and prioritization of primary sources documenting the history of Indian boarding schools in the U.S.; digitization and description of 120,000 pages of federal boarding school records held by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA); and collaboration among source communities, the National Indian Boarding School Digital Archive Data Aggregation Working Group, the Social Networks and Archival Context cooperative, and federal partners. This action is necessary to further the development of digital access to records significant to public understanding of the history and impacts of Indian boarding schools in the U.S. Because NABS has invested four years into developing a unique platform with the technical considerations to aggregate boarding school records of various sizes and formats and leads an established community of practice creating standards and best practices in boarding school record curation, NEH determined that a competition to fund the construction of a similar platform and capacities would be uneconomical and impractical.

Announcement of Award of a Non-Competitive Cooperative Agreement
AGENCY: National Endowment for the Humanities; National Foundation on
the Arts and the Humanities.
ACTION: Notice of intention to award non-competitive cooperative
agreement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NEH intends to award $491,049 to the National Native American
Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) for continued survey work and
prioritization of primary sources documenting the history of Indian
boarding schools in the U.S.; digitization and description of 120,000
pages of federal boarding school records held by the National Archives
and Records Administration (NARA); and collaboration among source
communities, the National Indian Boarding School Digital Archive Data
Aggregation Working Group, the Social Networks and Archival Context
cooperative, and federal partners. This action is necessary to further
the development of digital access to records significant to public
understanding of the history and impacts of Indian boarding schools in
the U.S. Because NABS has invested four years into developing a unique
platform with the technical considerations to aggregate boarding school
records of various sizes and formats and leads an established community
of practice creating standards and best practices in boarding school
record curation, NEH determined that a competition to fund the
construction of a similar platform and capacities would be uneconomical
and impractical.
DATES: The anticipated period of performance is January 1, 2024 to
December 31, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Briann Greenfield, Director, Division
Preservation & Access, 400 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20024.
