The Office of Federal/State Partnership collaborates with fifty-six state and jurisdictional humanities councils to support local programs.
The Division of Preservation and Access awards grants to help maintain cultural and historic collections.

Famous quotes containing the words divisions and/or offices:
“I find myself ... hoping a total end of all the unhappy divisions of mankind by party-spirit, which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man’s. It is in the boys’ gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
