National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library

The National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library will use its grant to capture the personal stories and family sagas of Czech and Slovak Cold War émigrés and recent (post-Velvet Revolution) Czech and Slovak immigrants to America. This second phase of a four-phase project will focus on New York, Chicago, Washington, DC, Florida, and the San Francisco Bay Area. The project involves incorporating informational content and video clips into a new permanent exhibition. Other aspects of the project will include design of a traveling exhibit, a conference, and the publication of an issue of the museum’s journal, Slovo, which uses oral history content. An oral history recording booth will be designed, constructed, and implemented in the museum.
