The Army Heritage Center Foundation aims to support and enhance the collection at the United States Army Heritage and Education Center. This includes the acquisition and preservation of a vast range of military history resources such as manuscripts, photographs, oral histories, books, classified documents, military publications and periodicals, maps, and artifacts.
The John William Whitman Research Grant, named in honor of Lieutenant Colonel John William Whitman, is designed to provide monetary support to unfunded independent researchers focusing on under-explored topics of military history. The grant, offered by the Army Heritage Center Foundation, offers up to $1,750 to cover expenses related to conducting research at the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center in Carlisle, PA. These expenses may include lodging and meals, travel costs to the center, and an allowance for photocopying. Grantees are required to submit vouchers and receipts for reimbursement of these expenses.
