Request for Proposals: Abraham Lincoln Traveling Exhibitions: NEH invites proposals for a cooperative agreement to develop and tour nationally a panel exhibition on the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln, and to develop and publish supplementary educational materials to be distributed to each of the exhibitions host sites. NEH expects the exhibition to be circulated to at least forty sites (historical societies or libraries) throughout the United States in 2008-2009. This project is one of several programs through which NEH will encourage public celebration of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial. The exhibition tour should be scheduled to include the anniversary of Lincolns birth in February of 2009 The exhibition should address the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln broadly. Panels should present significant original documents and artifacts within the framework of a well researched, clear, compelling, and balanced interpretive narrative. The exhibition should provide visitors with a visually appealing and interactive experience and should be accompanied by engaging programs for the public, as well as the use of new, robust technology.
