| IU has received two grants totaling more than $500,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities for projects involving Louisiana French and an online film literature index.
Albert Valdman, the Rudy Professor of French and Italian, and of linguistics, is the project director for a $284,456 award for the Louisiana project. Kristine Brancolini, director of the IU digital library program, is the project director for a $239,343 award for the literature index.
Valdman said a major objective for his project is preparing a historical dictionary of Louisiana French. Brancolini said the two-year award will help fund the conversion of the paper-based Film Literature Index to an online version for Web publishing. http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/335.html
