MN Legacy Amendment Grant Awarded to History Dept.

The Minnesota Historical Society has awarded a Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage grant in the amount of $82,486 to the Department of History at Augsburg College for the Historyapolis Project. The grant began on January 1 and will continue until April 2014.

Earlier this year, the history department took on Dr. Kirsten Delegard as a new scholar-in-residence. She brought the Historyapolis Project--an effort to connect public and local history to the digital humanities with a focus on the history of Minneapolis--with her. Dr. Delegard settled in this fall and has already begun to make important contributions to the college.

The awarding of this grant establishes Augsburg as a center for the study of the city's past, one in which the broader public will play a powerful role. This is the first time that an academic department of history has received funding from this program for such a project. Finally, the department wishes to thank Amy Gort, Erica Swift, and Dan Hoisington for their help in securing the grant.

For more on the Historyapolis Project, see http://historyapolis.com/the-historyapolis-lab/, "like" the Historyapolis Project on Facebook, or follow the Historyapolis Twitter feed.
