Office of Cultural Education Toolkit
Invitation to Participate: Community Engagement
The New York State Archives, New York State Library and New York State Museum would like to invite you and your network to participate in the community engagement designed to gather input on the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Toolkit for Collecting Organizations recently commissioned by the State Education Department and the Office of Cultural Education. The toolkit will provide a framework to help collecting organizations develop policies and practices in support of diversity, equity, and inclusion and to help these institutions make the organizational and other changes necessary to serve the full spectrum of experiences in New York State.
The success of the toolkit depends on input from the full spectrum of collecting institutions and their user communities from across the State. To gather this input, we are offering 9 small group engagements, including constituent caucuses and focus groups to help us better understand what museums, libraries, archives, historical and genealogical societies, visitors, researchers, staff, Board members, and volunteers need from this toolkit.
