| Project Description: |
| The Center's newly acquired permanent home, located at 2031 Harrison Street in Hollywood, Florida, will house the first South Florida Holocaust Museum and, in addition, will feature a state-of-the-art reference and research library for which we are requesting a grant of $619,236. The library will be open to the public including teachers, students, and researchers.
|
| |
| Is this a project related to a federal or state declared disaster? |
No |
| |
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| Due to space limitations since our inception, we have not been able to honor the requests of thousands of teachers, students, and the general public for a multimedia library where they can access our current and growing 4,500 volumes, videotapes, and 2,200 of our Oral History Collection of eyewitness accounts. Therefore, we anticipate the measurable outcome to exceed our expectations.
