The Manitowoc County Historical Society is getting what’s called a mini-grant.
The grant comes from the Wisconsin Historical Society and Wisconsin Council for Local History.
The $10,000 will be used for the Manitowoc County Historical Society’s Past Perfect Web edition project, which will be upgraded to an online Past Perfect Museum software to allow for staff and volunteers at the historical society to have better access to not only the objects in the museum’s collection but also to get data and background on the items.
The Wisconsin Historical Society’s Outreach program provides support and educational opportunities to local history groups throughout the state and is a major contributor toward the grant.
The Wisconsin Historical Society also partners with the Wisconsin Council for Local History, a non-profit organization consisting of all historical organizations affiliated with the State Society that promotes communication and cooperation among local history groups.
18 other historical societies throughout the state are also getting one of the grants.
