OurStoryBridge is applying for a series of federal grants this year, largely museum based, and we’re seeking Indigenous and African American organizations as partners on IMLS grants. Consider utilizing OurStoryBridge to share your history, boost contemporary voices, raise awareness about current challenges, and highlight the contributions of figures in your community, past and present.

If you’re interested in having your unique story project paid for, we’d love to hear from you now as we move forward with our partners.

Renewing Our Mission & Vision

As we move through 2023, starting new story projects and partnering on impactful grants, we want to reflect upon and reaffirm our dedication to the Mission and Vision of OurStoryBridge. Take a moment to revisit or view them here or on our website<https://ourstorybridge.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e6f60c122796a50a5c68ca3a2&id=0cc2f250f2&e=79710dd9a6>

The Mission of OurStoryBridge is:

  *   To be a resource and tool kit for OurStoryBridge projects that preserve and circulate local audio stories past and present through accessible online media;

  *   To promote, build, and assist with the deployment of these resources in communities across geographic, cultural, socioeconomic, racial, and organizational strata; and

  *   To help strengthen these communities through sharing of their stories, including preserving the stories of older generations before they are lost and encouraging younger generations to become engaged community members.

The Vision of OurStoryBridge is:

  *   To empower every community to cultivate connection across the generations, encourage civic engagement, celebrate diversity, and engender shared and durable kindness.

Will you be at MANY?

The Museum Association of New York (MANY) is hosting its annual conference this year from April 15th to the 18th in Syracuse, NY. This year the theme is Finding Center: Access, Inclusion, Participation, and Engagement. Our in-person presentation last year brought an appreciation of OurStoryBridge to museums and historical societies across the state. Especially impactful was the idea of starting story projects for semiquincentennial commemorations.

Jery Huntley, MLS, Founder & President, and Kelly Bartlett, MSIS, Project Coordinator will be attending. If you're planning to be at MANY or would like to discuss a story project for your semiquincentennial celebration, let’s connect<mailto:createyourstoryproject at gmail.com>!
