Share The Rhode Island Historical Society, the state's oldest and only statewide historical organization, is dedicated to honoring, interpreting and sharing Rhode Island's past to enrich the present and inspire the future. Founded in 1822, the RIHS is an advocate for history as a means to develop empathy and 21st -century skills, using its historical materials and knowledge to explore topics of timeless relevance and public interest. As a Smithsonian Affiliate, it is dedicated to providing high-quality, accessible public programming and educational opportunities for all Rhode Islanders through its four sites: the John Brown House Museum, the Museum of Work & Culture, the Mary Elizabeth Robinson Research Center and the Aldrich House.
Description
Cultural institutions such as museums, archives, and library collections often borrow and loan out pieces that can help add context to an exhibit or gallery. In this talk, RIHS Museum Collection Manager Luis Vasquez and Deputy Executive Director of Collections & Interpretation Richard Ring will discuss the process of lending and borrowing between institutions.
This Virtual Talk is part one of our weekly Love Our Collections series.
