service organization formed to advance and advocate the preservation and interpretation
of the area's
historical, ethnic and cultural heritages. Southeastern is a partner with GHHN

Valley Institute (HRVI) at Marist College is the central hub for information
about the region. HRVI serves heritage tourists, scholars, elementary and
secondary school educators, environmental organizations, the business community,

The Sound and Story Project of the Hudson Valley

Sound Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The goal of the Sound
and Story Project of the Hudson Valley is to strengthen community through
the power of listening. Drawing from existing library and museum collections
as well as original recordings, we preserve, transcribe and edit this material
to find the most compelling pieces of narrative and ambient sound to disseminate
on the web, radio and other media. Southeastern is a partner with GHHN and
the Sound and Story Project of the Hudson Valley, on a collaborative project
