OLD LYME — Connecticut Humanities, the statewide, nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), has awarded the Old Lyme Historical Society, Inc. (OLHSI) a $ 7,200 CT Cultural Fund Operating Support Grant (CTCFOSG).
The CTCFOSG will be used to support the Society’s mission to collect, preserve, interpret and promote the rich history of Old Lyme and environs by making the Archives collection more accessible, improving IT and online presence and increasing marketing to make the organization more accessible to the community.
John Pote, the Society’s Chair, commented, “History isn’t static. New discoveries and new technologies broaden our understanding and enhance discussions among cultures and communities.”
OLHSI was one of 624 organizations in Connecticut that was awarded CT Cultural Fund support.
