New SHAYS'S REBELLION WEBSITE The Shays’ Rebellion & the Making of a Nation website is the result of a collaboration among Springfield Technical Community College (STCC), the Springfield Armory NHS (US NPS), and the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association (PVMA). In September, 2006, STCC was awarded a $240,990 We The People (WTP) grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to develop the Shays’ Rebellion & the Making of a Nation website. STCC’s was the only stand-alone website that received funding (let alone WTP status) in this round of competition. The mutually beneficial co-location of the Springfield Armory NHS, with its Museum, and STCC on the same site permits a creative atmosphere in which scholars can contemplate a range of topics, most notably the history of industrial technology.
