Another way you can share the important historic sites in your community is by participating in our #ThisPlaceMatters Alaska photo sharing campaign. Photo submissions may include historic buildings and structures, residential neighborhoods, downtown streetscapes, historic and rural landscapes, and archaeological sites (please offset the location of archaeological sites for their protection).
