Welcome to the Florida Heritage Project site.

The FLHP engages public memory to celebrate the communities that have historically made Florida a rich vibrant state. Through research, writing, visual media, maps, and audio recordings, we invite you to share in commemorating Florida’s unique story.

About Us:

The Florida Heritage Project is a collaborative, educational, and public resource meant to enrich our understanding of the immigrant contributions to the state alongside that of generations of Native American and African American populations. Through the lens of cross-cultural contacts and community building, the digital public humanities Florida Heritage Project draws on the state of Florida’s rich multiculturalism to create a partnership between the general public, the state’s arts institutions, local libraries, historical societies, and the academic community and to highlight the state’s long history of ethnic diversity. This site is made possible with a generous grant from the Florida SouthWestern State College Academic Research Council.
