Another recipient is the College of St. Benedict who will receive nearly seven-thousand dollars to conduct thirty interviews to document the college’s history for its sesquicentennial. The city of Buffalo will also receive a grant of nearly five-thousand dollars to hire a historian to research and prepare a historic study of the city. In all sixty-five organizations around the state will benefit from this round of grants.
