Love it, and I appreciate the consideration of investment and growth from these initial amounts.

Though, while I want to be an instrument of change, the ever present issue of job security looms over our ability to speak up in this conservative, capitalist environment, and I'm wondering how to address

This is a great idea and I could see developing a model based off of crowdfunding platforms like Kiva (except grants, not loans) and Donors Choose!

Can't wait to follow your (and others') livetweeting!

This is really interesting, and I wonder if focus groups can't also play a role in creating object labels that better reflect the audience. Like if you brought in a group of people with diverse ages,

There are a few services like this that already exist! Members to the American Alliance of Museums get free entry to hundreds of museums. Bank of America cardholders get free entry to a large amount of

That's an interesting question, and I would say no. That's definitely the case for OBOS, their mission is to disseminate information on and advocate for women's health, which unfortunately is still an

Gas money!!

This is really great! I especially love your positioning of this project as a response to the "multipurpose facility" announcement. It would also definitely be interesting to see what stories

If I move forward with proposing Art-Reach as a potential candidate for the @phillyhistory grant, I would certainly do that!

Excited to see your proposal! Have there been any African American history classes in the school district that have gotten involved somehow in public history? Creating walking tours, recommending historic

Me, reading your post: "Hmm, this sounds just like the History Truck..." Your post: "This idea probably sounds very familiar to some of my colleagues in Temple’s Center for Public History."
