The Historyapolis Project seeks to remedy this situation. Animated by the\u00a0belief that history is a powerful tool for community-building, this initiative will use digital tools\u00a0to make the city&#8217;s history more accessible, catalyzing community dialogue around some of the\u00a0most challenging aspects of the past in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<p>The Historyapolis Project seeks to make Augsburg College the leading center for Minneapolis\u00a0history. It also plans to give Augsburg students practical opportunities to do local history and\u00a0learn digital skills.<\/p>\n<p>The award funds cover the cost of one year of research for a team of faculty and student\u00a0researchers. Historyapolis researchers will work work in local and national repositories to gather\u00a0material. The team will share the results of this work through the project Facebook page and website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.historyapolis.com\">www.historyapolis.com<\/a>. At the end of the year, the project will publish an annotated\u00a0bibliography that will serve as a roadmap for future researchers looking to explore the history\u00a0of the city. The team expects that this document will be used by teachers, students, citizen\u00a0researchers and professional historians looking to explore aspects of the city&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>This project has been financed in part with funds provided by the State of Minnesota from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the Minnesota Historical Society.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to learn more about this project, please feel free to contact Dr. Lansing at lansing@augsburg.edu or Dr. Delegard at delegard@augsburg.edu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Michael Lansing, Associate Professor and Chair of the History Department, and Dr. Kirsten Delegard, Scholar-in-Residence, were awarded $82,486 from\u00a0the\u00a0Minnesota Historical Society through the State of Minnesota&#8217;s Historical and Cultural Heritage\u00a0Fund\u00a0for their Historyapolis Project.
