Better Together: An Ethnic Heritage Initiative is a project designed to strengthen communities and connect Kansans by uncovering personal and community stories that tell a more complete and inclusive history of Kansas. Through an existing grants program intended to preserve local history, new grant funds will support projects that focus on collecting, preserving, and exhibiting the history of ethnic groups in Kansas. Museum professionals, historians, and folklorists will serve as consultants for oral history and research projects, collections initiatives, and the development of exhibits. |
