NCPR series detailing stories of St. Lawrence County and North Country workers garners grant from Community Foundation

Posted

CANTON -- The Northern New York Community Foundation recently awarded a $5,000 grant to North Country Public Radio for their "North Country at Work."

Communities come to be when there is work to sustain people.

Over time, the work of a community may change, expand, contract or disappear.

This project will explore the work history of the North Country, community by community, based on the photos and stories, which will be collected and shaped into an online, public archive.

The archive will trace the region's work history through the earliest photos from the 19th century up to present time, and into the future.

The project will build a searchable history that residents and visitors, educators and historians will all find interesting and useful.
