Thank-you for any assistance you can offer us in our goal to “Collect the Community”.

 

“Hello all,

 

I’m interested in hearing from archives and museums who are doing active contemporary collecting in marginalized communities to diversify their collections. If you’re not actively collecting, what are you doing to be more inclusive within your collections? What resources are you using to reach out to marginalized communities in your area?

 

At the Museum of Dufferin (Mulmur, Ontario), we are in the process of diversifying our collections to better represent the diverse communities who call Dufferin County home. The goal is to build meaningful relationships and strengthen existing relationships with historically marginalized communities, and hopefully lead to acquisitions and donations, collaborative exhibits and educational programming.”
