Research to Inform the American Latino History and Culture Program

American Latino museums across the United States play an integral role in preserving and promoting the diversity of American Latino life, art, history, and culture. Recognizing this role, in 2020 Congress enacted legislation to establish a new American Latino History and Culture (ALHC) program at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The program will use grantmaking to build the capacity of American Latino museums and educational organizations to promote the study and appreciation of American Latino life, art, history, culture, and their impact on US society and to strengthen, sustain, and grow the field.
