The annual mini-grant program from the Wisconsin Council for Local History and the Wisconsin Historical Society supports projects and activities that strengthen a local organization’s ability to manage and preserve historical collections. Only historical organizations that are affiliates of WHS are eligible to apply. Public libraries may develop projects in collaboration with local historical organizations, but the grant application must be submitted by the local affiliate.

This grant program from the National Endowment for the Humanities supports day-long events organized by community cultural institutions, which members of the public are invited to attend. At these events, experienced staff will digitize the community historical materials brought in by the public. Project staff will also record descriptive information provided by community attendees about the historical materials. Contributors will be given a free digital copy of their items to take home, along with the original materials.
