From blockbuster documentary films and museum exhibits to neighborhood history brochures and public author talks, we are looking for grantees ready to transform lives through the humanities.
Public Humanities Programs - Through our popular Humanitini and Soul of the Cityprograms we take cutting edge humanities ideas and bring them to the people of Washington, DC. Those ideas may come from the halls of academia, the front page of the newspaper, community meetings, or face to face conversations with fellow humanists.

Most of the item pages include links to downloadable files or videos on HCTV, the Humanities Council’s Youtube Channel. We have oral history recordings, documentary films, original research, photograph collections, and much more; a treasure trove for scholars, students, and anyone interested in DC’s rich history and culture!
