<div dir="ltr">Hello again everyone,<div><br></div><div>
<p class="MsoNormal">BC Museums Week planning is in full swing! Thanks to everyone who has already signed up
for our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/367967106910253/">Facebook
Event</a> and sent me information on what their museums are planning – lots of
great ideas!<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am throwing together some ideas for the BCMA’s own social
media posts for the <a href="http://museumsassn.bc.ca/professional-development/upcoming-events/bc-museums-week/bc-museums-week-schedule/">daily
themes</a> and am looking for some help. I don’t want to take away from your own posts, but would love to
showcase our industry through the BCMA’s account. If you have anything for the following
themes, please consider sending them to me (photos to go with your short
stories are very helpful!), but feel free to also post on your own:<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Museum People</b>: do
you have a great photo of your museum staff or board hard at work, or a story of a lifelong volunteer, etc? <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Cultural Exchange and
Museum Partners</b>: how have you engaged in cultural exchange with another
museum, your community, local government, members of the GLAM sector? Do you have a great partnership you want to
highlight? Show/tell us how you partner
and exchange.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Contribution of BC
Museums</b>: Show/tell us why your museum is vital to your community. What contributions do you make? What role do you play? How do you engage with government?<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Contested Histories</b>:
this topic relates to International Museum Day. How have you approached
presenting contested histories in your museum?
What are the contested histories you’ve come across?<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Reconciliation and
the Future</b>: How does your museum work towards reconciliation? What successes do you want to share? What’s on the horizon for your museum?<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">**Please note: any photos with people can only be shared if
you have their written permission to share/use (usually with a written and
signed media permission form). Please
ensure you only share images with the BCMA that you have permission to share.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We hope you’ll join us online during the week and use
#BCMuseums so we can see all your posts!
Thanks for sharing some photos and stories with us for our highlights.<span></span></p>
