The Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region awarded a $179,041 Project Grant to the American Baptist Historical Society under the Preservation of Japanese American Confinement Sites (CFDA 15.933) federal grant program. The funding will support the Society's efforts to digitize and preserve archival documents and photographs related to the experience of Japanese Americans and the work of Northern Baptists who assisted those who were forcibly incarcerated during World War II. The project aims to create a curated digital collection, an online exhibit, and a temporary on-site and traveling exhibit to expand public access and interpretation of this history. The project will be completed by November 1, 2025.
