Institution Description:
New American History explores America’s past, harnessing the power of digital media, curiosity,
and inquiry. Its core projects are Bunk, a curated remix of contemporary online content, and
American Panorama, an interactive digital atlas. We also partner with others who share our
commitment to innovative public history. These allies include the podcast BackStory and the
video documentary series The Future of America’s Past, as well as a growing network of museums
and educators working with us to adapt our always-free and easily accessible resources for K16
learners. Our work is made possible by generous gifts and the collaboration of students and staff
at the University of Richmond.
The Thomas Jefferson Foundation was incorporated in 1923 to preserve Monticello, the home of
Thomas Jefferson, in Charlottesville, Virginia. Today, the foundation continues its mission of
education and preservation as a civil society organization and founding member of Made By Us.
Monticello is recognized as a National Historic Landmark, a United Nations World Heritage Site,
and a Site of Conscience. Learn more at monticello.org.
