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 diversity of topics, and proactively document significant underrepresented subjects or untold stories.
The 2024 application period is now closed. Recipients of 2024 Undertold markers will be informed in February 2025.
The next application period will be October 1 - November 15, 2025. Note that there is no application fee to apply for an Undertold Marker.
