The Huguenot Historical Society in New Paltz, New York received a $349,955 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access program (CFDA 45.149). The grant funding will support a three-year project to catalog, conserve, and digitize historic documents from the mid-18th through 19th centuries, held in four partner collections: Huguenot Historic Street, Town of New Paltz, Reformed Church of New Paltz, and the Haviland-Heidgerd Historical Collection at the Elting Memorial Library. The digitized materials will be made accessible through the NYHeritage.org platform and a project-specific website. This effort aims to preserve and provide intellectual access to the region's primary humanities resources documenting the colonial and early American history of the New Paltz area.
