Description
Founded in 1973, the Illinois Humanities Council (IHC) is a 501(c)3 organization that promotes greater understanding of, appreciation for, and involvement in the humanities by citizens of Illinois, particularly those whose economic resources, cultural background, or geographic location limits their access to the humanities. The IHC creates and funds numerous educational activities throughout the state, including library discussions, seminars, lectures, performances, exhibitions, films, and written materials. Through these activities, the IHC serves as a catalyst in imaginative ventures which bring scholarship into the public forum. All our programs embrace a broad definition of the humanities with topics ranging from history and literature to philosophy, folklore, historic preservation, archaeology, jurisprudence, or comparative religion; all are committed to providing lifelong learning.
