This act established the National Endowment for the Humanities as an independent grant-making agency of the federal government to support research, education, and public programs in the humanities. In fiscal year 2001, grants were made through Federal-State Partnership, four divisions (Education Programs, Preservation and Access, Public Programs, and Research Programs) and the Office of Challenge Grants. The act that established the National Endowment for the Humanities says, “The term ‘humanities’ includes, but is not limited to, the study of the following: language, both modern and classical; linguistics; literature; history; jurisprudence; philosophy; archaeology; comparative religion; ethics; the history, criticism, and theory of the arts; those aspects of social sciences which have humanistic content and employ humanistic methods; and the study and application of the humanities to the human environment with particular attention to reflecting our diverse heritage, traditions, and history and to the relevance of the humanities to the current conditions of national life.” The National Endowment for the Humanities supports exemplary work to advance and disseminate knowledge in all the disciplines of the humanities.

The Freedom Center facility initially included the John Rankin Library, but funding issues eventually lead to the elimination of the librarian position and closing the library to the public. In the fall of 2007, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County and The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center entered into an agreement for their John Rankin Library to be housed at the Main Library in downtown Cincinnati as a long‐term loan. The initial loan period is 10 years. The items from the Freedom Center have been added to the Library’s catalog and have been incorporated into the Main Library’s Genealogy & Local History collection. These materials are available for the public to check out, if a circulating item, or to use at the Main Library, if a reference work. The unique nature of the Freedom Center’s collection enhances the Main Library’s reference and circulating collections while making the materials acquired by the Freedom Center again available to the public.
