The Wisconsin Historical Society and Wisconsin Council for Local History are pleased to announce that 17 affiliated local historical societies received a total of $10,354.00 through the 2022 mini-grant program. The Wisconsin Historical Foundation and the Wisconsin Council for Local History provide funding for the mini grant program. The New Glarus Historical Society has received a mini-grant to support the archives collections improvements project.
This year’s affiliate mini-grant program focused on projects and activities that strengthen a local organization’s ability to preserve historical collections and manage those collections and other resources. The projects supported in part by the mini-grant program are an important part of the work done by local organizations to help collect and preserve our state’s history at the community level.
The Wisconsin Historical Society’s Outreach Program provides support and educational opportunities to local history groups throughout the state. The Wisconsin Historical Society also partners with the Wisconsin Council for Local History, a non-profit organization consisting of all historical organizations affiliated with the State Society that promotes communication and cooperation among local history groups.
For more information about the mini-grant program, contact Director of Outreach Janet Seymour at (715) 836-2250, janet.seymour@wisconsinhistory.org.
