The vast majority of these documents do not have full-text transcriptions or indexed data, making them difficult to search and largely inaccessible to historians, students, scholars, and the general public.

It gave me a chance to really think about how we have been opening up our museum and what it means for our community. Museums can be incredible catalysts for social change. We can change that by embracing participatory culture and opening up to the active, social ways that people engage with art, history, science, and ideas today.
