The retention of three staff positions to create online offerings focused on Montana’s architectural history and traditional construction methods.

Zooming in on History is a new program to be live streamed over the internet. Designed to appeal to a broad audience, Zooming in on History will be hosted by the Montana Preservation Alliance staff and will feature engaging topics and guests drawn from across the humanities disciplines. Programs will bring scholarship to light on the forgotten past, lesser-known places, and traditional skills for preserving historic sites – to spark public interest, and foster dialog and stewardship of significant heritage properties throughout our state. Each episode will be archived as both a YouTube program and podcast, in a format that can also be used for education and training purposes.
