What difficulties have you all been facing with your federal funding? We squeaked by with the NEH prior to their cancellation of active grants. We had a grant we applied for in early 2024 in which were approved in late 2024, all prior to 1/20/25. We started the project immediately upon notification, and thank goodness! We had just finished drawing down the funds last Tuesday, the DAY BEFORE news broke that active NEH grants would be canceled last Wednesday. We got our last cent in the nick of time, literally, seven days ago. I know our local humanities councils are going to be decimated. I can't even begin to wonder what will happen to the Puerto Rican Foundation of the Humanities, who provides funding as well to our project. I am not clear if they will be reliable partners anymore. With federal funds being pretty much a dead revenue stream for the foreseeable future, if they ever do come back, what other funders (besides the wonderful folks at LHC) are stepping up to fill in this gap?

Hello everyone! I recently discovered Postcrossing, an amazing project where people from all over the world send postcards to strangers, and in return, they receive postcards from different countries. It's a simple, fun way to connect with people globally, and can be a tool for historic preservation and cultural exchange. As someone passionate about Latinx history and culture, I’ve enjoyed using Postcrossing to share postcards that highlight historic sites and stories from my own community. I also encourage people who send me postcards to include a piece of local history, especially stories that are not commonly shared. Receiving postcards from around the world and United States gives me insight into how others preserve and celebrate their own history. If you’re looking for a creative way to connect with others while sharing a piece of your heritage, Postcrossing is a perfect fit. These three cards are from Canada, Germany, and Arizona! Anyone else here involved in Postcrossing or passionate about preserving history through creative means?
