Welcome to RHODI

Through the Rhode Island History Online Directory Initiative (RHODI), the Rhode Island Historical Society (RIHS) is determined to fulfill its mission as a platform for connectivity and participation by using digital technology to increase the history and heritage sector’s visibility, access to peer networks, grassroots support, fundraising capacity, transparency, and the dissemination of messages ranging from education to advocacy.

Download the RHODI White Paper to learn more about the RHODI survey process and findings or the RHODI best-practices resource for lessons learned during the project.

RHODI is made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
