The NARA FY2026 budget justification eliminates funding for the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). NHPRC administers grants to organizations to preserve US history. Read SAA's statement and tell your representatives to support robust appropriations for NHPRC:

ATTENTION: Congressional appropriators are preparing next year's budget. We NEED to act. Call your member of Congress and tell them to #FundLibraries in the federal budget. Our tool will tell you if your Rep or Senators are appropriators: bit.ly/CallApprops4Libraries More: ala.org/fundlibraries

We continue to stand with our #IMLS colleagues and hope for the same outcome for #NEH and #NEA. "The Fiscal Year 2026 budget for federal agencies is still on deck." - it's not too late to contribute to this all-in effort to save our #libraries #arts and the #humanities.

@arl.org responds to the news about Dr. Carla Hayden from the Library of Congress. Read our full statement: 🔗https://www.arl.org/news/arl-comments-on-the-dismissal-of-dr-carla-hayden-from-the-library-of-congress/ #ARLStatements #ARLUpdates @librarycongress.bsky.social

I am deeply troubled by the dismissal of Dr. Carla Hayden, a trailblazing librarian and the first African American and woman to serve as Librarian of Congress. Her leadership modernized access to knowledge for all. This is a loss for intellectual freedom and public service.

NEW: ALA salutes Dr Carla Hayden for her exceptional service to the nation as the Librarian of Congress. We are deeply disappointed in Dr Hayden's abrupt & unjust dismissal last night, an insult to the scope & breadth of her work. Read ALA Pres. Cindy Hohl's statement: www.ala.org/news/2025/05...

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services. The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

BREAKING — Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) staffers who were put on admin leave on Monday just got letters letting them know they’re a part of a Reduction in Force (RIF) and that their job will be “abolished” effective May 4th in accordance with Trump’s EO, per copy reviewed by me.

The NEH grant I am PI on got cancelled effective immediately as of yesterday. The letter was found in the spam box of our Office of Sponsored Projects email account. We were in the final 2 months, with four summer curriculum development grants just awarded last week. What an end to 4 years of work.

NEW: In a letter sent to the Institute of Museum and Library Science's Acting Director, the Board of Directors for the IMLS demands answers about what's going on right now and what the agency's future responsibilities will include. bookriot.com/imls-board-o...

Both the #NEH and #IMLS have had immeasurable impact in the US & the world, because - their staff works tirelessly & altruistically - awardees produce exceptional work - projects spearhead/sustain communities - ROI is greater by orders of magnitude to amount given. So sad to see them decimated.

PSA: NEH awardees should always feel free to email [email protected] with questions, feedback, or concerns. You can also message staff and access (NEH-generated) files in eGMS Reach reach.neh.gov. Any of this correspondence is subject to FOIA.

From the State Humanities Councils: “all awarded grants—including their 5-year General Operating Grants and other program-specific awards—were canceled in their entirety, effective April 1” More info & action alert script for your legislators: www.statehumanities.org/action-alert...

Spread the word: if your NEH grant has been canceled (or you know someone who this applies to), please fill out or pass along this form from ACH.

Libraries across the country began receiving official notices from the Acting Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services terminating their grants, effective April 1, 2025. www.everylibrary.org/trump_termin... via @everylibrary.bsky.social
