The Historic Hudson Valley in Tarrytown, New York will strengthen its digital capacity and develop online teacher resources through a $119,001 project grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services' National Leadership Grants program. Under the award, set to run from November 2021 through October 2022, the nonprofit will hire new interpretive staff with skills in digital storytelling to lead virtual programs and train existing staff on differences between in-person and online learning. The organization will also train staff on engaging remote classrooms. These efforts will help the Historic Hudson Valley continue developing virtual field trips delivering accurate and engaging content on history, including slavery in the colonial North. The programs are intended to serve students unable to visit historic sites due to geographic or economic constraints. Success will be measured through teacher surveys, focus groups, and staff evaluations.
