Upcoming Workshops
| April 12, 14, & 26, 2022 | Workshop on Washington Tribal Engagement within Museums with Owen L. Oliver
This two-and-a-half hour workshop will push participants to consider their role in curating exhibits with Indigenous people and tribes. By using case studies and small groups, participants will come out learning how to engage with Indigenous communities and spot flaws within the museum system. Ultimately, helping participants and communities to come to terms on how to move forward with Tribal engagement and consulting. Participants must first attend “Introduction to Washington Tribal Engagement within Museums” as a prerequisite. This workshop will be offered three times—organizations should register for one session only. Space will be limited, but we hope to offer more workshops on this topic in the future. Registration details to come. |

History Standards Workshop
It is important that the public access to history and historic preservation activities funded by Heritage Capital Projects grants are in alignment with field best practices and include interpretation of history. To help explain what those “best practices” are, join four WSHS staff—Maggie Weatherbee (collections), Gwen Whiting (exhibits), Allison Campbell (capacity building), and Jay Mortensen (historic preservation)—for this crash-course! |
