Since 1965, the NEH has awarded over $6 billion to support museums, historic sites, universities, teachers, libraries, documentary filmmakers, public TV and radio stations, research institutions, scholars, and local humanities programming. Now its funding is under threat.

The recent cancellation of NEH funds has hit the wonderful resource that is the Medieval English Text Series (METS) @urochester.bsky.social, a free online resource that 1000s use for teaching & research.
Please consider making a donation if you can, and please share!
