The program provides grants to Historical Societies to assist in covering some of the operations and projects costs to produce and publish periodicals that foster an appreciation of New Brunswick’s local and regional history.
The program also encourages the conservation of New Brunswick’s heritage resources – tangible and intangible – which are held in trust by the organization.
The program is designed to help these societies to expand their activities so that they can offer more services to their communities, to New Brunswickers, and to visitors.
