Project Title

Experimental Fundraising Initiatives

Project Description

Denton sits right in the middle of horse country. This project was inspired by the community that has grown around horse ranching and explored the development of fundraising projects to support horse and ranching photography collections in UNT Special Collections. It incorporates the horse ranching community already within the area, and develops collections from their history and culture.
