As we begin a new year, it is also the time of year when faculty are preparing to teach in the upcoming spring semester. HRAF is pleased to announce our new video tutorial making its debut on YouTube this month.
The new video is a perfect companion for classroom instruction. Showing the video in class is a great way to introduce your students to eHRAF World Cultures.
This how-to video covers all aspects of navigating eHRAF World Cultures, including a demonstration of how to compare different cultures around a specific subject.

After the great success of the HRAF Global Scholarshipcompetition that we first launched in 2018, we were delighted to continue the program for 2019.
For 2019 the scholarship was opened to both individuals and academic institutions in low- or middle-income countries, as defined by the World Bank. The scholarship provides one year of access to eHRAF World Cultures and eHRAF Archaeology at no charge to the individual or their academic institution. We are pleased to announce our 2020 Global Scholarship Winners:
