Activating Local History Training Program Information Session

The Activating 21st Century Local History Training Program will work with local historical societies (LHS) around Vermont to develop advanced skills in approaching their work from within an “Active Collections” framework (https://www.activecollections.org/). The goal is to help them establish collections priorities, right-size their collections, and energize their community engagement strategies to help increase organizational sustainability and ensure the continuing preservation of local history.  

Project components include an Online Resource Center, workshops, and intensive work with two LHS cohorts to provide training, resources, and direct assistance on self-selected collections-based projects.  

This program is funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (Grant 21MP-256386-OMS-24). 

Learn more about the project and how you can participate at our virtual Information Session on October 21 at 10:00 am held via Zoom.
