Project Partners
In 2021, the Moravian Historical Society was awarded a Historical Archives and Records Care grant from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. With this grant, the Moravian Historical Society began the work of digitizing and sharing its collection of archival documents.
In 2022, the Moravian Historical Society was able to expand this work with funding from the American Historical Association’s Grants to Sustain and Advance the Work of Historical Organizations Program, which provides relief to institutions adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This opportunity was made possible with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
