An increasing focus of historic preservation work in the US aims to help connect all Americans to their heritage resources in a manner that resonates with their lives, legacies, and dreams, and tells the stories that make up America’s diverse national identity. The goal of this Knowledge Community is to improve support to those working with the heritage of Native American, minority, and other underrepresented cultures by focusing on the international resources and opportunities available to them. A key aspect will be the research, resources and experts available abroad on the international origins and context for many of these diverse communities, including diasporic communities. One example of such a resource is the UNESCO Slave Route project which, among other things, seeks to understand the global nature of slavery and the African diaspora by linking together heritage sites across the globe that touch elements of those stories. Existing collaborations between Mexico and Mexican-American cultural heritage advocates; the Netherlands and those working with the legacy of Dutch colonial settlements in the US and other provide still more examples. This Knowledge Community aims to be the go-to resource for US historic preservationists seeking to share information on these types of opportunities.
