The DHPSNY Antiracism Programming in 2024 is structured around both the AASLH Making History at 250 Field Guide and the New York State 250th Field Guide. Our guiding question for 2024 is: How do we make our collecting organizations interdisciplinary and representative of the realities of our many New York histories?

This program invites participants to consider their organizations' collections, exhibits, programs, and institutional planning from a hyper local perspective, including stories from their city, village, town, hamlet and/or county alongside the perspectives of contemporary and 21st century Indigenous communities. The May program is designed for anyone who works in or volunteers for a library, archive, museum, historical society, or history/culture site in New York State.
