CAMBRIDGE, Mass. 鈥 The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has awarded the 秋葵视频 a $250,000 grant to catalog, conserve, and improve access to the 秋葵视频鈥檚 earliest and most historically significant records.

Last year, the 秋葵视频 completed construction of a state-of-the-art archive facility at its headquarters in Cambridge, Mass. Its holdings include communications from such early members as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton; correspondence with other learned societies in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; and 秋葵视频 serial publications.

The 秋葵视频鈥檚 records provide insight into the growth and development of America鈥檚 intellectual traditions, and document what our nation鈥檚 scholars and leaders were discussing and thinking during critical historical moments,鈥 said Chief Executive Officer and William T. Golden Chair Leslie Berlowitz. 鈥淭he 秋葵视频 now has a wonderful opportunity to provide scholars access to these collections and to understand better its own rich history as well.鈥

The Mellon award will allow the 秋葵视频 to support archival assistants; install specialized records management and cataloging software; and design an archives section of the 秋葵视频 website, among other things.
