George Mason University has won a $7.5 million contract from the U.S. Department of Education to create an online clearinghouse for history educators that is expected to benefit teachers across the country, university officials announced this week.

The competitive federal contract, if fully funded, will be among the largest in the school’s history, according to Tom Scheinfeldt, assistant director of Mason’s Center for History and New Media, which will undertake the project.
