Northwestern University Press recently received a three-year, $73,000 grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to digitise important but out-of-print titles. The grant will also help underscore the importance of open access research studies in the humanities, giving a new generation of readers unprecedented access to this work.
The grant is one of the first of the new Humanities Open Book program, jointly sponsored by Mellon and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Northwestern University Press will use the funding to create free e-book versions of 64 outstanding humanities titles in African studies, literary criticism, and philosophy.
The Humanities Open Book program provides Northwestern University Press a unique opportunity for collaboration with the University Libraries, as the e-books will be available on the Libraries' repository platform and can be purchased through the usual digital and print channels.
Northwestern University Press is dedicated to publishing works of enduring scholarly and cultural value, extending the University's mission to a community of readers throughout the world.
