RE: Balancing Priorities: Collections vs Community

in #history7 years ago

Right, it really is impossible with the financial restraints placed on almost every institution.

However, I want there to be a solution beyond a piecemeal addressing of problems. Financial struggles have/will always plague cultural work, but I think structural, big changes can direct us toward more lasting stability--integrating digital initiatives, collaborating with and giving leadership positions to members of the local community, divesting from the executive board model, partnering with other institutions, etc.
