How Preservation Idaho is making state history more accessible

AP

Preservation Idaho is dedicated to saving our past, everything from buildings to neighborhoods, and now they're going to start using very futuristic technology to do it.

This nonprofit picked up a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation to use cutting-edge technology to build interactive story maps to make Idaho's history more accessible and to reach new audiences for their research.

Brittney Scigliano, Preservation Idaho board president, and Janeale Dean, founder of Desert Creative Group, joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
