Abstract: This information collection request is pursuant to a cooperative agreement between NEH and the American Historical Association (AHA). The purpose of the collection is to understand how the public perceives, and engages with, history and the work of historians. NEH, AHA, and the many educational and cultural institutions they support will use the information gathered in the proposed survey to create responsive and effective history and other humanities programming to better serve the American people. Most immediately, NEH will use findings from the survey to inform programming for "A More Perfect Union," the agency's special initiative advancing civic education and commemorating the nation's 250th anniversary in 2026.
