Harrisburg, Pa. – The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) was awarded $246,500 in federal funding from the Institute for Museum and Library Services to design, produce, and deliver new digital learning resources to support those who cannot go to museums in person due to COVID-19 related concerns.
