This morning at a joint conference, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) of the United Kingdom signed a memorandum of understanding to foster scholarly collaboration and research in the humanities. NEH Chairman, Dr. Bruce Cole, and AHRC Director of Research, Professor Shearer West, signed the memorandum of understanding, inaugurating the first of two academic conferences. Today’s conference, “Picturing the Nation,” featured presentations from scholars from the United States and the United Kingdom on how art can illuminate a nation’s history. A second conference will take place in the United Kingdom in 2009.
“Art serves as a primary document of a civilization; it can reveal important truths about a nation’s people and past,” said NEH Chairman Bruce Cole. “With this in mind, the Endowment is delighted to collaborate formally with the United Kingdom’s Arts and Humanities Research Council to examine how art can best be integrated in scholarship and education to enrich the understanding of history.”
