Scholarly research to advance new humanities perspectives, interpretation, and programming at five National Trust properties.

For the People by the People: Transforming National Trust Historic Sites will advance equity and reconciliation at five National Trust Historic Sites, with particular emphasis on engagement of descendant communities through historic places that are centerpieces of their communities. For the cultural sector, these projects will provide inspiring models and best practices in humanities-based re-interpretation for historic sites around the country, as this work is shared and amplified through the National Trust’s various outreach channels and training programs.
