A collection of posters of America's art treasures and is designed to
promote the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and
culture in K-12. I have a list of the posters if you would like to see.

>> Congratulations! You have submitted a successful application for
>> Picturing America, an initiative of the National Endowment for the
>> Humanities (NEH), conducted in cooperation with the American Library
>> Association (ALA). You will receive an official award letter from NEH
>> Chairman Bruce Cole in September 2008, along with your Picturing
>> America award materials, including forty images and a teachers resource
>> book.
>>
>>
>>
>> In the meantime, please be sure to review the Picturing America
>> website, http://picturingamerica.neh.gov, for a wealth of resources and
>> project updates that may help you plan your programs for the fall. At
>> the website, all program participants -- including teachers, librarians,
>> and parents -- may sign up to receive email notices of project updates.
>> You can also see a listing of other Picturing America award recipients
>> in your city or state by visiting

>>
>> If you applied for Picturing America on behalf of multiple schools and
>> libraries, note the following carefully:
>>
>>
>>
>> 1) **Please be sure to share this message with all recipients listed
>> within your application IMMEDIATELY.** It is your responsibility to
>> communicate award status within your system or district, and we need
>> your help to make sure that award recipients know to expect materials
>> this fall. Because NEH and ALA do not have email addresses for
>> recipient schools and libraries, unless you contact them, they will not
>> receive any notice until official letters are sent by mail in September
>> 2008.
>>
>>
>>
>> 2) Also, per the Picturing America guidelines, there is a limit of one
>> Picturing America collection per school or public library. If one of
>> the organizations in a multiple application already received the
>> collection under a previous deadline, that organization will not
>> receive the materials again.
>>
>>
>>
>> If you have any questions about Picturing America, please contact the
>> ALA Public Programs Office staff at publicprograms@???. Thank you
>> for being a part of this exciting initiative of the National Endowment
>> for the Humanities, which brings masterpieces of American art into
>> schools and public libraries nationwide.
