Our Story
The Institute for Heritage Education (IHE) was established in Montana in 2014 by a dedicated group of Project Archaeology supporters. Initially created to provide a stable home for Project Archaeology during challenging times, IHE has evolved to meet the growing needs of cultural heritage education. In 2019, recognizing the importance of supporting a wide range of heritage programs, IHE was revived and received its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. In 2022, IHE became the designated national nonprofit partner for Project Archaeology, solidifying its commitment to preserving our shared history through education.
