AMS Receives NEH Digital Projects for the Public Grant
Planning Grant for Digital Platform
The American Musicological Society (AMS) is pleased to announce that it has received a grant of $30,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities’ (NEH) Digital Projects for the Public program. The program supports projects that interpret and analyze humanities content in primarily digital platforms and formats.
The AMS will use this NEH grant to support planning for a digital platform project entitled Music Means: A Digital Platform for Exploring Music and Meaning in America.
Music Means is a multimedia digital platform about music and meaning in America. The Society’s most ambitious and public-facing digital project to date, Music Means is about creation, expression, interaction, inheritance, and identity, and aims to help users understand how different forms of music are woven into the story of America and its peoples. Once fully developed, the platform will publish research-based posts and articles as well as various interactive and immersive multimedia features and resources that help users learn about and explore the story of music and meaning in America.
