Beginning in 2006, the THC began collecting a state-mandated $100 marker application fee “to establish an account to offer funding incentives for special or priority markers." Funds are intended to address historical gaps, promote topics, and proactively document significant underrepresented subjects or untold stories.
The 2026 application period is open from October 1 to November 15. Please note that there is no application fee to apply for an Undertold Marker.
