Fortepan US is a networked cooperative portal dedicated to preserving, sharing, and exploring family and local historical photographs, making cultural heritage more accessible and engaging. The digital-first platform encourages collaboration among family contributors and cultural heritage institutions—such as state archives, Indigenous territories, or U.S. national parks—to unify disparate collections into a single, interactive interface. Fortepan US not only streamlines digital archiving but also fosters joyful, immersive public exploration of America's diverse and sometimes challenging past. To donate photos to Fortepan MN please contact Kay Hannahan.
