Discretionary

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) awarded the Oregon Historical Society, doing business as the Oregon History Museum, a $487,625 three-year Project Grant under the National Historical Publications and Records Grants program (CFDA 89.003). This grant, running from September 2024 to August 2027, will support the comprehensive digitization and translation of historical documents held by the Oregon Historical Society, making these important records more accessible to the public through online platforms. The project builds on the organization's previous work digitizing and increasing public access to archival records, with a specific focus on Japanese American history in Oregon. Key initiatives include updating the Oregon History Project website, creating the Oregon History Wayfinder interactive map, and developing Oregon TimeWeb to enhance digital access and public discovery of the society's historical collections.
