What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
National History Day
History Day is an exciting way for students to study and learn about historical issues, ideas, people, and events. This year-long educational program fosters academic achievement and intellectual growth. Students acquire useful historical knowledge and perspective while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will help them manage and use information now and in the future. History Day also promotes continuing education for secondary school teachers and provides history teachers with an innovative teaching tool.
Grant Program
The New Mexico Humanities Council accepts applications for funding to conduct high quality humanities programs for public audiences throughout the state. Programs are intended primarily for adults who are not full-time students and for families. They are programs widely advertised and held at times and in locations accessible to the general public. The programs may vary as widely as New Mexico's communities and audiences. These programs bring humanities scholars and the public together. They create a dialogue that enhances the civic and cultural life of the citizens of New Mexico.
Speakers Bureau
The Speakers Bureau offers nonprofit organizations and schools an easy, inexpensive way to host informative and thought-provoking presentations in their communities. Speakers Bureau talks present scholarship and discussion on diverse humanities topics, while Chautauqua programs bring historical characters to life through well-researched and well-acted portrayals.
Atlas of Historic New Mexico Maps
An online, interactive archive of twenty historic maps of New Mexico, annotated with descriptions by the mapmakers and by other people living, working, and exploring in New Mexico at that time.
