Respect for Diversity

Valuing Our Museums, Libraries,
and the Communities they Create

The South Central Region of the Documentary Heritage Program, administered by Museumwise, is pleased to announce the availability of a traveling exhibition that highlights the importance on diversity in communities as well as the ways our cultural institutions work to represent that diversity in their collections.

This high-quality exhibit consists of four 52″x26″ panels and hardware for hanging or easels for display. The exhibit is designed to be accompanied by materials from your own collection, creating a personal exhibition at your organization. The fourth panel even includes a dry-erase board, inviting your community members to add to the exhibit.

The exhibit is available on a first-come, first-serve basis, with preference given to organizations in the South Central Region (Allegany, Broome, Cayuga, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Otsego, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins and Yates counties).

The cost of this exhibit is minimal–$150.00 which includes shipping and handling. Venues mayhost this exhibit for up to eight weeks in a low-security environment.

The exhibit is now available. If you would like more information, or would like to book this exhibit, please contact Stephanie Lehner Rowe, Regional Archivist, at info@museumwise.org or by phone at 1.800.895.1648.

This exhibit is made possible in part with funds from the Documentary Heritage Program of the New York State Archives, a program of the New York State Education Department
