Let’s Work Together
NHDNH is looking for historical societies and organizations to sponsor special topic awards at states. These awards can be certificates, scholarships, gift certificates, or something else. If an organization is interested in sponsoring an award, the organization should establish generic requirements for the project or student. Once established, please Contact NHDNH.
