Our Mission

CCRH is dedicated to examining the hidden histories of the Basin and to helping people think about the historical record from different perspectives through creative public history products and direct engagement with Columbia River Basin communities.

CCRH conducts interdisciplinary research projects, publishes material in text and electronic format, sponsors teacher seminars and free public programs, and develops curriculum. CCRH collaborates with other historical and cultural institutions, and offers its programs to schools, libraries, historical societies and public groups throughout the Basin.
