Description
The purpose of this project is to expand Public History practices in the community of the Southwest Independent School District. Its main goal is to establish a community historical society that will preserve and promote the local history of the area while allowing students to gain practical experience in the field. A newly created Public History class at the High School will support it. By giving members of the community the knowledge and ability to record and preserve their local history, the power to keep alive the collective memory is in the hands of those who made this area their home.
