In an earlier blog post, we announced that Cara A. Finnegan’s Photographic Presidents: Making History from Daguerreotype to Digital, had received a National Endowment for the Humanities Open Book Award (now Fellowships Open Book Program), a special initiative for scholarly presses to make recent monographs freely available online.

Photographic Presidents and Transforming Women’s Education: Liberal Arts and Music in Female Seminaries by Jewel A. Smith, a recipient of the first round of book awards, are now available open access (OA).

You can access the OA edition of Transforming Women’s Education here and Photographic Presidents here.

Please find the full list of available OA titles made possible by the grant here.
