== Newberry Library Award == In 1987, the Newberry established the Newberry Library Award in honor of its 100th anniversary. The award is an honor bestowed to individuals, and in the case of the [[Andrew W. Mellon Foundation]], organizations, who have made "outstanding contributions to the humanities, particularly in fields of endeavor related to the Newberry’s collection."<ref name=Newberry-Award-McCullough-2013>{{cite news|title=David McCullough to Receive Newberry Award|url=https://www.newberry.org/david-mccullough-receive-newberry-award|work=Newberry Library|date=March 2013|language=en}}</ref> The award itself is a scale-sized model of the full-sized [[Virginio Ferrari (artist)|Virginio Ferrari]] sculpture created in 1987 called ''Umanitá'' that greets visitors as they enter the Newberry Library.<ref name=Newberry-Award-Oakley-2012>{{cite news|title=Newberry Honors Williams College's Francis C.
