Minnesota Historical Society

The Minnesota Historical Society will use its IMLS award to continue research and development for The 1968 Project, a collaborative program documenting and interpreting American life during this pivotal year. In partnership with three other historical institutions—the Atlanta History Center, the Chicago History Museum, and the Oakland Museum of California—the Society will conduct a nationwide search for stories, images, and objects that illuminate the great and small events of 1968. Products of this documentary project will include a traveling exhibition, a Web site, public and educational programs, and a film competition.
