Going Beyond the Land Acknowledgement Statement
Increasingly, over the past couple of years, many Indigenous leaders have recommended that cultural organizations and culture workers should go beyond reading crafted statements, to provide more detailed information by investigating the language, culture and land agreements of your area with this mapping resource. This resource helps you to reflect on the many layers of history and legal aspects of how we share this land with the people who have lived here many generations before us.

Museum Digital Strategy
Watch Victoria Stasiuk participate in an International online panel to explore digital strategies museums use to increase revenue and digital outreach.

Glam Worker Resources
Over the past few years, I’ve discovered that many in the United States and Europe recognize a GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museum) sector.
From November 2022 to February 2024, our firm produced free online webinars in partnership with Histropedia, UK.
From time to time, I will update this portion of the post to provide resources and subject matter expertise as well as links to colleagues who want to explore ways to work together as we continue to grow the sector
Douglas McCarthy and Andrea Wallace have demonstrated leadership in the sector by starting an OPEN GLAM Survey in 2018. Their work is currently located here on Creative Commons website.
