The ALA Public Programs Office, the Folger Shakespeare Library and the
National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) invite public, academic and
special libraries to apply to host “Manifold Greatness: The Creation and
Afterlife of the King James Bible,” a traveling exhibition to America’s
libraries. Three copies of the exhibit will travel to 40 libraries from
fall of 2011 through winter of 2013. For more information, including
access to the online application, visit www.ala.org/kingjamesbible
<http://www.ala.org/kingjamesbible>.
Libraries applying to host “Manifold Greatness: The Creation and
Afterlife of the King James Bible,” must register their institution at
Grants.gov <http://www.grants.gov/>. Prospective applicants are advised
to register with Grants.gov <http://www.grants.gov> as soon as possible,
since the process can take up to two weeks to complete. *Online
applications must be completed by April 5.*
Successful applicants will host the exhibit for a four-week period
between fall of 2011 and winter of 2013 and will receive a $2,500 grant
from NEH for attendance at an exhibit-planning workshop and other
exhibit-related expenses. Participating libraries are expected to
present at least two free public programs featuring a lecture or
discussion by a qualified scholar on exhibition themes. All showings of
the exhibition must be free and open to the public.
“Manifold Greatness: The Creation and Afterlife of the King James
Bible,” a traveling exhibition for libraries, was organized by the
Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, D.C., and the ALA Public
Programs Office. It is based on an exhibition of the same name developed
by the Folger Shakespeare Library and The Bodleian Library, Oxford
University, to mark the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King
James Bible. The traveling exhibition was made possible by a major grant
from NEH.
