LBHF Projects

The Left Bank Humanities Foundation is currently applying for nonprofit status, a recognition that will enable us to better serve our virtual and our real communities.  We look forward in the future to various exciting projects such as teaming with National Public Radio for community discussions on literature, art, and history, especially in rural areas where access to such forums is limited.  We also plan from time to time, to spotlight writers, artists and others that we feel deserve special recognition in the arts and humanities community. Please tour the list of our current projects.

Current Project Highlights

The AI-HOST project is well underway! Metropolitan Design and Development, Inc. is using Zabaware's server-side Ultra Hal Assistant as a starting point for the LBHF's online virtual representative.

Touching Anais is the LBHF's first effort in producing an e-Book.  This production is a collaborative effort with one of the  LBR's peer publications, Mind Fire Press. We hope that this will be the first in a long series of eDiAL projects!

Our LBR-FLIP project was initiated last month by Ms. Eva Gallud.  Ms. Gallud has graciously translated the LBHF profile on Djuna Barnes, as well as a recent LBR article from English to Spanish!

 

Planned Projects

The LBHF plans to develop a distance learning program called Outside Modernism.  The first profile will be about Isabelle Eberhardt .
