<p class="MsoNormal">The Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards recognize individuals, businesses and organizations for outstanding efforts on behalf of Oregon heritage, drawing public attention to these efforts, and raising the quality of heritage‐oriented activities.
Awards will be presented during the 2022 Oregon Heritage Conference, April 27‐29. The awards are presented by Oregon Heritage, a division of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department that houses the Oregon Heritage Commission and the Oregon State Historic
Preservation Office.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards honor those that have made the most of available resources and skills and are given for exceptional and meritorious work by organizations, businesses or individuals. Nominations are encouraged for organizations
and projects of all sizes and heritage purposes and for volunteers and professionals from all heritage sectors. The Sally Donovan Award for Historic Cemeteries will specifically be awarded for excellence in work preserving Oregon historic cemeteries.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Action over and above the ordinary call of duty is an award prerequisite. Special consideration is given to the development of new ideas, approaches and innovations. The mere fulfillment of routine functions does not justify an award. Previous
award winners will be honored a second time only if their new work represents a major improvement above the level for which they were previously honored. View past award winners and projects

<p class="MsoNormal">By Elizabeth Merritt <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At many museums, the demographics of volunteers are far less diverse than the demographics of volunteers in the country overall. Could long-held assumptions about who is able to donate their time be misguided? And if so, why aren't museums
