The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission has awarded a Historical & Archival Records Care grant to LancasterHistory to digitize its collections pertaining to the history of Black Lancastrians, Indigenous people and 19th-century Congressman Thaddeus Stevens.
The $4,669 grant will enable LancasterHistory to digitize the collections and make them accessible by the public.
LancasterHistory has a small, but rich, collection of resources related to the history of Black Lancastrians and Indigenous people since the 18th century â historical items that have not yet been digitized and made available online, according to a news release.
With the grant, LancasterHistory will be able to make 425 documents and manuscripts from 24 different historic collections, which are specifically related to people of color in Lancaster County, available for use by historians and others.
