+  Ellen Noonan and Sibylle Fischer's project wins prestigious Digital Humanities Advancement Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

+
+NYU Faculty [Sibylle Fischer](https://as.nyu.edu/faculty/sibylle-m-fischer.html) (Spanish and Portuguese, CLACS, and History) and [Ellen Noonan](https://as.nyu.edu/faculty/ellen-noonan.html) (Archives and Public History) have been awarded a prestigious Digital Humanities Advancement Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for $139k.
+
+In their project [Migrants and the State: Unlocking the Potential of A-files for the Histories of U.S. Immigration](/projects/migrants-state/), Fisher and Noonan will work to prototype development of open-source machine learning methods for making historical migrant records more accessible to scholars and members of migrant communities. The project grew out of a Bennett-Polonsky Humanities Lab focused on government recordkeeping and migration. A preliminary website using these records ([A-Files: Record-Keeping and the Golden Gate](/projects/g2021zehngut-willits/)) was supported by the NYU Graduate Fellowship program. 
+
+Noonan has also received an [NYU Digital Humanities Seed Grant](/funding/seed-grants/) for another project, [COVID Collections](/projects/covid-collections/).
+
+Congrats, all!
