This federal Project Grant award of $149,960 from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access program (CFDA 45.149) will fund a community-based, collaborative oral history and archival project titled "The Floods Change Everything: Documenting Food Access and Cultural Resiliency Among New American Communities in Vermont". The project will explore the experiences of climate change among resettled refugees in their countries of origin and in Vermont through the lens of food access and food-related cultural practices. It will also identify relevant content in the Vermont Folklife Archive that will contextualize contemporary climate realities in Vermont based on historical baselines drawn from past descriptions of seasonal cultural and economic practices. The project will be conducted by the Vermont Folklife Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to documenting, preserving, and promoting Vermont's cultural heritage. The award period runs from February 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026.
