OCHS Awarded Grant Funds for Photo History Project

OCHS is happy to announce that we have received a grant from the Oklahoma Historical Society to create a traveling photo exhibit to showcase images like this one that are part of our conservation history photo collection hosted on the Gateway to Oklahoma website. The exhibit will be of museum quality and will be made available to regional and local museums and for conservation district events.

We are proud to continue our partnership with the Oklahoma Historical Society. This is the second grant awarded to OCHS by OHS. The first grant was for the development of our strategic plan. “Funding from the Historical Society, along with the support of Historical Society staff, has been instrumental in the projects OCHS has undertaken to date,” said Ben Pollard, OCHS President.
