Museum of History and Industry

Seattle's Museum of History and Industry, in collaboration with the Seattle Public Library, will receive a planning grant to develop and test Nearby History, a history interest program led by a museum historian at branch libraries for neighborhood residents. This Program's goals are to raise the level of historical understanding in the community by reaching a multi-generational audience, offer access to the museum's programming in history, increase knowledgeable use of the Library's resources, and strengthen collaboration between the museum and library. *Awarded under Museum Leadership Initiatives program - now part of National Leadership Grants for Museums
