AASLH member worth IMLs and Neh – AASLH

We present this column that appeared in the Bulletin of the Oklahoma Historical Society, and others who want to send their messages to the Federal and government officials on behalf of the AASLH members and museums. The Smithsonian Institute, Humanities, Museum Services Institute, National Park Service and other government agencies serving the public, the last executive decisions of the White House have been targeted. Thompson temperament Thompson is the Executive Director of the Oklahoma History Society, an institutional member of AASLH.

The daily work of the Oklahoma people is necessary for the history and culture of Oklahoma to collect, protect and share the historical society of Oklahoma historical society, but it is not easy. The local, state and federal partners are taking partners to fully implement our mission. Thanks to the partnership we develop in our 132 years of existence, we can influence more people than we can do alone. If the federal levels are fully implemented in the last few months, our museum community will take place for years.

Many of you can read this column, National Park Service (NH), Art (NH), Museum and Library Sciences (IML) are played in museums in city and rural communities not only in OHS, but also in Oklahoma. With each of these institutions, the federal grants are maintained in quality historical education and protection work, especially in secret places.

State Historical Protection Department (Sh.HPO) located within OHS. This office is responsible for managing the 106th program, which has negative historical effects of historical places program, national tax loans, historical tax credits, the address of the federal projects and several other functions. The sixty percent of the ppon’s work is funded via NPS. Earlier this year, when the NPS suspended all the activities of the Foundation, SPO work continued due to the uncertainty of the existence of the Fund. As we recently approached the critical recent preparations for the 100th anniversary of the main road, the NPS’s ways were canceled.

While writing this column, I learned IMLs and was ordered to stop the Neh’s operations. There is no doubt that this will have a negative impact on Oklahoma museums. IMLS, along with strategic planning, provides grants to museums for collecting collections and training. Through the Humanities of Oklahoma, who received the financing from the Neh, received hundreds of thousands of dollars in OHS since the 1970s. In recent years, we have received grants for wild western show at Pawnee Bill Ranch and Museum, a special discussion and a special discussion and table festival in the last autumn, for a $ 60,000-dollar planning grant for new exhibits in Ponca Museum. Now we heard that we have received the grant, but I suspect that we know now.

Our museums are part of the cultural fabric of this country. They bring up and inspire. More importantly, to ensure that we learn from these are the goalkeeper of our common history and never forget. These agencies, which I discussed in this column, are not part of the alphabet of the federal bureaucracy we can do. They play an important role. Without these institutions, the museums in our country can reduce staff, cancel training programming, new exhibits, to cancel new exhibits and close their doors.

Museums, if historical education and protection are important to you, I recommend that you know your feelings to your federal elected officials. The future of our history may depend on this.
