NEH | Creating Humanities Communities Grant

NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES

<NN> Cannery History Project was just awarded an NEH Creating Humanities Grant to revive, reunite and raise awareness for the multi-cultural working community that has existed in canneries throughout the Pacific slope for over a century. Thank you to our project partners, particularly Trident Seafoods, and to NEH for recognizing the significance of cannery work. We are thrilled, honored and excited to help preserve an important part of Alaska history.
