Legacy media digitization grant appropriation

This bill appropriates $20,000 from Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage fund in fiscal year 2027 to the Minnesota Historical Society. The funds will support a grant to a nonprofit organization for repairing or replacing technology to digitize historical media, including videotape, film, audio, and print materials like local news, documentaries, and community stories. The technology must convert these materials to digital format, and the nonprofit must make the digitized content publicly accessible. The goal is to preserve Minnesota's historical records and share them with the public through this digitization effort.
