Project Grant PN29343623

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), through its Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access (CFDA 45.149) program, awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to Latinos in Heritage Conservation (LHC) for The Abuelas Project. The Abuelas Project is a multi-year initiative to identify, collect, and share stories about places that matter to Latinx communities in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The grant funding will support staff time and resources to research and plan the development of a community outreach strategy, a national framework for a digital preservation repository, and strategic planning for the Abuelas Project. This NEH-funded effort will create a repository of place-based historical documentation that centers the voices and experiences of American Latinx communities.
