Community Heritage Lab
Support Cultural Heritage Work!
At the Community Heritage Lab, SCU students, faculty, and staff work with community partners on collaborative, interdisciplinary research and public-facing projects that shape how we understand and practice culture. These projects enhance engagement with diverse local histories and cultures that strengthen our campus community. Thank you for supporting this important work!
Your gifts will help support key cultural heritage projects, such as:
- The recent establishment of a Native Plants Garden at SCU’s Forge Garden
- The ongoing development of the Thamien Ohlone Augmented Reality Tour of the SCU campus, co-created with the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe
- A continuous, year-round Ohlone Youth AR Storytelling Program exercising the cultural, artistic, design, and technological skills of Ohlone youth to co-create experiences for the AR tour
- The development and expansion of the Ohlone Heritage Hub website, including a web-based version of the Native Cemetery Memorial, in collaboration with the Ohlone Indian Tribe and the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe
- The annual Ohlone Youth Cultural Camp that brings Ohlone youth to their homelands on SCU’s campus to practice culture and build community
- Archaeological and historical research about Mission Santa Clara, Santa Clara’s Old Quad neighborhood, and the rich heritage of Silicon Valley
- Other student-centered research projects with community partners
