Rediscovering Afghanistan -- The National Endowment

The National Endowment for the Humanities invites applications for projects that focus on Afghanistan's history and culture. The special initiative is designed to promote research, education, and public programs about Afghanistan and to encourage United States institutions to assist Afghanistan in efforts to preserve and document its cultural resources.

Since “Rediscovering Afghanistan” was launched in 2005, a number of additional projects have been supported, including the digital reformatting of 2,600 hours of Radio Afghanistan analog music tapes created from 1960 to 1980, an accelerated archaeological conservation training program conducted in the United States for four conservators from Afghanistan, and a traveling exhibition,“The Lost Treasures of Afghanistan.”
