The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) awarded a $112,262 Project Grant on September 1, 2024 to Upstander Project, Inc., a non-profit organization, through the National Historical Publications and Records Grants program (CFDA 89.003). The grant funding will support Upstander Project's efforts to preserve historical documentation, provide public access to U.S. historical records, and deliver educational programs that promote a more nuanced understanding of Native American history and contemporary experiences. The grant activities include digitizing archival collections, creating online editions of historical papers, and engaging the public through immersive learning experiences such as the "Upstander Academy" program, a two-week residential institute for humanities teachers and museum educators. This grant aligns with the National Historical Publications and Records Grants program's objectives to document underrepresented groups, explore founding ideals, and make historical records more accessible.
