Stories of Summer Exhibit Reception
Date and Time
Tuesday, February 5, 2019 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Description
*This event is also being listed as "So You Want to do a
History Harvest"
The Kutsche Office partners with local communities to collect,
preserve, and make accessible their unique histories. These harvests
include collecting oral histories, archiving photos and historic
documents, organizing exhibitions, developing curriculum, and
partnering with libraries, schools, and community groups. This work is
made possible with assistance from Grand Valley undergraduate and
graduate students who integrate research experience with hands-on
service. We are currently partnering with the Saugatuck-Douglas
History Center on our National Endowment for the Humanities funded
project, Stories of Summer. We are combining this talk with the
Opening Reception for the Stories of Summer Exhibit. It will give us
the opportunity to share with you an up close look at the results of a
successful history harvest project.
