2019 Affiliations National Conference
Join us June 23-27 to exchange ideas and best practices with fellow Affiliates and Smithsonian colleagues. Help us answer the questions, “How can we collaborate more effectively? How do we leverage the power of partnerships to shape a better future?”
National Youth Summit: Woman Suffrage
The National Youth Summit brings middle and high school students together with scholars, teachers, policy experts, and activists in a national conversation about important events in America’s past that have relevance to the nation’s present and future. Affiliates can apply to host Regional Youth Summits.
“Our relationship with the Smithsonian afforded us the unique opportunity to host the traveling exhibition Destination Moon: The Apollo 11 Mission. We collaborated to augment the exhibition with our own collection and adapt it for our local audience, which made our run an even greater success!”
“Working with Smithsonian Affiliations has been critical for the development of the Moon Landing in Context project that aims to provide the historical, social and cultural context of the decade of the Apollo program. The expertise shared by many Smithsonian scholars offers the uniquely interdisciplinary approach the project requires.”
“We are very grateful for the opportunities for collaboration through the Affiliations program. Whether through our two, highly successful training programs for museum professionals—co-developed with the Smithsonian—or through participation in the Affiliations National Conference, our partnership helps us learn new trends, advance our research, exchange ideas, and bring this knowledge to our communities.”
