CT Cultural Fund Operating Support Grants were designed to help the states museums, cultural, humanities, and arts organizations maintain and grow their ability to serve their community and the public, connect K-12 teachers and students to strong humanities and arts content, and improve their information technology and digital infrastructure.
The University of Connecticut is developing a Digital Public History minor with an internship component. The Mansfield Historical Society will pilot one of the first student interns who will assist in expanding its online presence and providing more digital content. Funding will be used to purchase computer equipment and to compensate staff who will mentor the intern.
