Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

* Video Production
The HBA will conduct oral interviews with HBA selected individuals. MNHS will purchase kiosks for a banner traveling exhibit.
* Traveling Exhibit
MNHS will work to place the exhibit in venues throughout Minnesota. This will enhance the HBA connection to schools, communities and youth throughout Minnesota.
* Web/Digital Presence
MNHS together with HBA can share links to existing Hispanic/Latino content and resources on the MNHS webpage. MNHS will make a list of links available to HBA.
* Educational Opportunities
MNHS would like to pursue a live distance learning opportunity with the group's keynote speaker. This event would take place in the morning of the October opening event. Live hook up to selected schools around Minnesota and questions from students submitted ahead of time. MNHS will provide a work plan including logistics, schools, and submission of questions.
* Collection
HBA and MNHS will discuss the possibility of having collection materials at the opening event. A research guide to Hispanic/Latino material in MNHS collections (newspapers, books, archival material and objects) will be created for public use.
