Professor Receives Prestigious Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities

Prof. Dawn Marie Hayes of the Department of History is the recipient of a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The three-year award in the amount of $349,971 is in support of The Norman Sicily Project (NSP), a prototype web app that documents the history of Sicily under the Normans. The funded application, “Documenting the Past, Triaging the Present and Conserving a Legacy for the Future: A Web App for Sicily’s Norman Heritage,” was one of the 33 funded as part of the NEH’s most recent Humanities Collections and Reference Resources Program (174 applications had been received). She is now able to direct a team that will build on the Level I NEH HCRR award the project received in 2019.
