  • Maritime Heritage Collections include objects, documents, and archeological materials that support the preservation and interpretation of U.S. maritime history, such as artifacts, archival records, small craft, works of art, and excavated shipwreck components.
  • Traditional Maritime Skills include historic naval, commercial, and navigational skills passed down through generations-often manual, craft-based, or specialized techniques that are no longer widely practiced or taught in modern training programs.
  • Applications are reviewed by the Alaska Historical Commission and grants are administered by OHA.
