AASLH has several upcoming webinars:
Telling the Whole Story: Strategies for Representation from “#1 in
Civil Rights”
What do you do
when your institution’s past collecting choices were not in sync with your
institution’s current aspirations for diversity and inclusion? To bridge this
gap and create the acclaimed exhibit “#1 in Civil Rights the African American
Freedom Struggle in St. Louis,” Missouri Historical Society developed practical
techniques and strategies for telling the whole story including interpreting the
absence of objects, contextualizing little known episodes in history, storytelling, and honoring
visitor voices in adult guided experiences. The live webinar event is Tuesday,
March 13. More information

Implementing NAGPRA: The Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act
Almost 30
years after passage of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation
Act (NAGPRA), there is still misunderstanding and confusion among some in the
museum community regarding its requirements and procedures. Whether NAGPRA is
new to you or you would benefit from a refresher, this webinar will help you
feel more confident about NAGPRA implementation and consulting with tribal
representatives. You will also learn how museums can benefit from building
relationships with Native American communities beyond NAGPRA implementation. The
live webinar event is Wednesday, April 4. More information
