By Jackie Armstrong
Should museums warn visitors about sensitive content in advance? It's a matter of frequent debate among staff, according to an advocate for trauma-informed museum practices. Here's why she believes misconceptions may be getting in the way of action, and her advice on best practices for writing your own content warnings.

Telling the American Story on Our Public Lands, Conversation with Secretary Deb Haaland, 9/5
Thursday, September 5 at 4:00 p.m. (ET), virtual
Register here<https://events.mellon.org/secretarydebhaaland?gz=cb218f60b3814a2d60366d3ddb808803&guest-access-hash=NDU4OTgyOTg2fDczNDU0MjI3N3wxNzIzMDUzNjQ3O2EwMDBiMmM0Mjg3NDcwZjAwMTQ4MWMxNzY5MmRiOTcyZjIzMTM0ZDBhNDcxZGJjMTcxMGIxZGRlZDliNjQ2Zjk=>
Our vast and stunning public lands are not only celebrated for their natural beauty and natural resources—they also play a prominent part in conveying the American Story to visitors from across the country and around the globe. How can we ensure that we meet the need to more accurately and inclusively tell American history in these public spaces, and to preserve and expand access to the voices and stories they hold for future generations?

US Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland joins Mellon Foundation President Elizabeth Alexander for a discussion about the reparative work Haaland leads on our public lands, the charge of stewardship for racial and environmental justice, and the role of Interior in telling the American Story.

Understanding Public Memory Resource Kit
This kit includes AASLH resources, as well as outside memory projects, guides to monuments and memorials, webinars, and readings, to introduce perspectives on the future of monuments, contextualize the formation and dynamics of public memory, and inform how the public history field should approach, contextualize, engage, and grapple with contested monuments on a national and local level. See the kit.<https://u83566.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.JKc0qhVFcTPfMDenuxAd6JbIvhtghSPRDSrmeRHJpq34w9mCtcfraCtktmABEvXD29WCKyzkPAfAIyAxzy2eF1lrXPPIROpMLz9Xd44O1kc-3Dj39I_dQQJK-2Bh2VwYZPbMqkB87WMSaHSrB2Cpyat6DlFx8xgmqbu3irjtssH68i2Qnpd-2Ftibq35njLfGe1RP0eD19dmbA9cViCftexRTalgOeEnBB2M8EWTMPOKM4mmiUdrj7gzn7EERipiYyurokROjDYLrUR2v7C4WjwkIg6lCr-2FX7c1hWdG-2BLy9fosKOKhmiJKRq8PmmTgKEvcxxhcZLaVdLFrIiCqGMQ7ClnM74VdmnnvUysQ846y2hwYomvlM3ICOUN0ne5A2hi29tuVmdogDS7eltmX63kl-2FHvsCyiHxxpU6DWdbk58isEZrW0Yn2FiZmt-2FLoSfyis2P4QEFQbLERqz8Nd9D-2FgueDsKrd0rNoTkmyCgXPmS8LJ76qusI6rmDxvwF7-2F9bE3jngMzLFaKfjVQE9g9f25Lc3NMmtxeTx6HoZpy4OKMMB2448BQoEoHswAQWT7EDyAYDVckP4AZcUJnvju1e6fNFwhuqVRVKGYBHkM1XC-2BENk4qIWmy2qRDrDpLqNdvNrtwUWGLNT3KqnuKkPjVWf7hlMFr0ebFE-2FBSpP7oOux1cCqzOhOLMg2BIXo9qxbmlQ0GPyWN6mFqU5xAu29-2FDfAtWPIK4HBvT-2BEIka9Lu7L8kgfXy6AFy59MtNJZg55MhQ3h-2BsJlEjuzvUG8iengIJLlsI6-2F7VV1lykQ-3D>

America 250 Oregon Update
The following is a message from Kerry Tymchuk included in the Aug. 15, 2024 Weekly E-Digest from Oregon Historical Society. Kerry Tymchuk is serving as the Chair of the America 250 Oregon Commission.
“On July 4, 2026, Oregonians will join citizens from across our country in commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America. I have the honor of serving as Chair of the America 250 Oregon Commission, created and designed by the Oregon State Legislature to coordinate Oregon’s official observance of the Semiquincentennial, and I look forward to working with my fellow commission members in the nearly two years leading up to the commemoration.
Like the American Bicentennial did in 1976, I believe the Semiquincentennial offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity for citizens to reflect on the ongoing story of our American democracy and the role that Oregon and Oregonians have played in that story. As chair, it is my goal that when we reach July 4, 2026, Oregonians will say that our commemoration of America 250 engaged and united all generations in learning and reflecting on the full sweep of America’s and Oregon’s history; stressed the importance of history and civics education in our schools; highlighted the important work of Oregon’s many history museums; and inspired all of us to participate in and shape the ongoing American experiment.” (From the Oregon Historical Society Weekly E-Digest: Happy Semiquincentennial, Aug. 15, 2024)

Digital Preservation resources
With many organizations capturing sound bites and video shorts for the born digital world – preserving, organizing, and maintaining intellectual control is a constant consideration. Here are some resources to consider for this work:

  *   Check out this resource if you are doing Oral Histories on a budget<https://researchguides.uoregon.edu/doingoralhistory>.
  *   Digitizing outdated media can be tricky. Start by asking some of the questions in this Heritage Bulletin #19 on Audio Preservation<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/HB19_Audio_Preservation.pdf>.
  *   For additional Audio Preservation resources, check out this workshop module.<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/AudioPreservation_Module.zip>
  *   Consistency in data can’t be understated. Standardize with this Data Cleanup Guide.<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/OH_Data_Guide_Full_web.pdf>
  *   Need a good example project to start from? Fermented grapes sparked this unique oral and video interview project from Linfield University’s Wine Archive<https://oregonheritage.wordpress.com/2023/08/18/oregons-history-with-the-heartbreak-grape-pinot-noir/>
