The Neville-Pribram Mid-Career Educators Awards grants funding for teachers and educators to explore the collections of the Smithsonian Libraries and make use of them for educational materials. The awards are open to middle & high school teachers, college teachers, and museum educators who are developing educational materials.
The Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Library , located in New York City, consists of approximately 100,000 items focusing primarily on design and decorative arts. The strengths of the collection includes: Textiles, Wallcoverings, Product Design & Decorative Arts, and Drawings, Prints, & Graphic Design. Cooper Hewitt Library’s rare collection also includes subject areas beyond the current collecting scope like natural history, science and technology, and World’s Fairs making it particularly well suited for an educator in a STEAM field.
