Guampedia, a Guam Humanities Council project, is a comprehensive, informational source intended to spur critical thinking about the island’s complex history. The primary objectives of Guampedia project revolve around preservation, access and education:

  • Preservation of Guam’s history and culture through conveyance of important events and people in encyclopedia entries;
  • Access to text with photographs, audio and video; and
  • Education through locally produced and focused material on the island’s heritage for school children and for a worldwide public in order to strengthen global knowledge of Guam through with accurate and well written texts.

Guampedia needs your support. Take the pledge:

We believe that the future of our island is dependent upon an informed, educated citizenry. Scarce resources result in limited opportunities to learn and understand about Guam’s unique history, culture, environment and present-day society. Guampedia exists to provide a comprehensive, accessible quality resource about Guam that will increase opportunities for the enlightenment of our people, allowing us to chart our destiny.

and donate what you can! Your contributions will only be used for the Guampedia project.
