Unlocking Museum Collections

In 2022 the Association of Nova Scotia Museum embarked on an initiative with 60 of its member museums to 'Unlock Museum Collections'. The goal was to develop digitization strategies with cultural communities and return information and stories to communities. The first step of this process was hosting community sessions throughout the province. These sessions were open and honest discussions between community members and museums, and resulted in many calls to action for museums and the Association.

As a follow-up to the community sessions, we are reaching out for more input. Please share your thoughts by answering any or all of the following questions. Completed surveys can be returned to the ANSM office in the self-addressed return envelope provided. Your feedback is important to us and will help museums better meet the needs of all Nova Scotians. Thank you for your time!

Are you a member of or do you identify with any of the following communities?
Have you ever felt culturally connected when you entered a museum? If so, where did this happen? What did you feel, see, hear or do?

Museums use objects to tell stories and share intangible knowledge. How can museums better include culturally appropriate information about objects, stories or places in their exhibits and programs?

Museums have a lot of objects in their collections, but communities are not always aware of them. How do you want to engage with collections? 

What is the value in having objects digitized?

Objects in museum collections raise many questions but sometimes information has been lost. How can museums and communities work together to address this?

Is there anything else you would like to share?
