[OR_Archaeology] Fwd: [Hist_Pres] Travel Oregon Matching Grant Idea

[Susan White]

Below is information regarding a grant from Travel Oregon; 

Remember archaeological sites can be promoted as part of "heritage tourism" for Oregon!

If you would like an example (and encouragement) of how this kind of endeavor has actually worked, please surf the Trail of Florida's Indian Heritage website below; this massive project began with 2 women applying for a "Travel Florida" grant to create a brochure that showed the location of publicly-accessible archaeological sites in southwest Florida as well as providing information about the sites' significance.

Hope this helps or at least plant some seeds of future ideas, Susan Lynn White
