The CCR program contributes to the continuity of cultural heritage and its availability for future generations by supporting community-based projects that empower people to define, collect, and use cultural and historical resources. In addition, the CCR program recognizes the importance of documenting contemporary experiences with climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic and of deepening our understanding of their social, economic, and emotional impact on individuals and communities.
NEH welcomes applications at all stages of project development from planning through implementation, especially those that employ inclusive methodologies, such as participatory archiving, oral history, rapid response collecting, shared stewardship arrangements, and community-centered access.
The CCR program supports activities such as:
• identifying and capturing cultural and historical resources, including through digital means, in communities potentially endangered by climate events, such as wildfires, drought, hurricanes, or rising sea levels;
• safeguarding cultural resources to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic;
• collecting oral histories from individuals impacted by extreme weather events or the COVID-19 pandemic, including survivors and first responders;
• documenting traditional knowledge, memories of elders, practices, or technologies;
• engaging in collaborative planning efforts to prepare communities for rapid response collecting; and
• applying insights from cultural heritage identification and documentation projects to inform local and regional community resilience strategies.
