The History Channel has begun accepting applications for its annual “Save Our History” grant program. Under the program, museums, historic sites, historical societies, preservation organizations, libraries and archives partner with local school or youth groups to help preserve the history of their communities. The History Channel awards grants of up to $10,000 for individual projects. The grant application and information on how to apply are available at the Save Our History website and are due by June 6, 2008.
