This Statewide Community Outreach and Engagement Initiative will expand our collection, preservation and sharing of stories by bringing our collections, services and programming to your community. While not a new concept for us, as we already make vast amounts of our collections and public services available online, it does represent a new proactive means of telling Wisconsin’s stories in communities throughout the state. The heart of this new initiative is a traveling exhibit called the Wisconsin History Tour: Sharing Wisconsin’s Stories One Community at a Time. We are forging partnerships with 11 communities that will host the exhibit for monthlong stays. And, during five days of the exhibit’s run at each location, the Society will provide free educational programming, demonstrations, author appearances, workshops and other interactive means of sharing our stories.
