Hello
For starters, I'd guess you could try:
1. National Trust for Historic Preservation, in D.C.
2. State Historic Comm.?, in Juneau.
3. Historic groups elsewhere in Alaska?
Put-together an outline of what you imagine doing with the plan. Keep it loose; you'll get lots of suggestions. Consider how many people you have who not only would help get it going, but, especially, the ones who you think will stick-around for the long slog of the early years.
Maybe start with some simple walking tours, and / or "slide-show" lectures for community groups. Also, check with the schools, colleges-&-universities, and well-known major donors in the area. The libraries might have ideas, and people, also.
You might need to get yourself a pallet-jack for the paperwork.
Best of luck ---

Is she from Anchorage? I don't know, but Alaska. Why, don't Juneau?
