Implementation of on-site and virtual programs that interpret the museum’s permanent exhibition.

This project will maintain the museum's presence as an important complicating voice for public history audiences on the Gettysburg battlefield and through expanded digital compacity across the nation. These interpretive efforts are unique on the Gettysburg battlefield in their aggressive foregrounding of the social, cultural, and racial history of the United States in the decades before and after the Civil War, and provide an important intervention to the military-history-centric interpretation and programing that continues to be presented across Gettysburg and the battlefield.
