The '''Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture''' (OIEAHC) was founded in 1943 and is jointly sponsored by [[The College of William & Mary]] and The [[Colonial Williamsburg|Colonial Williamsburg Foundation]]. In 1996, the College and Colonial Williamsburg added Omohundro to the Institute's name in recognition of a generous endowment bequest pledged by Mr. and Mrs. Malvern H. Omohundro, Jr. The Institute also receives support from the National Endowme(contracted; show full)erican history and culture. It ranges chronologically from Old World—New World contacts to about 1820. Geographically, it focuses on North America—from New France and the Spanish-American borderlands to British America and the Caribbean—and extends to Europe and West Africa. Although grounded in history, it welcomes works from all disciplines—for example, literature, law, political science, anthropology, archaeology, material culture, cultural studies—bearing on the early American period.
