For the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations, the National Park Service draws upon the humanities to explore our shared history and its meanings. Humanities scholars study subjects like literature, philosophy, history, politics, religion, archaeology, and art to help us better understand and interpret the world. Investment from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has allowed NPS to host humanities scholars and share a greater diversity of American stories.
