AAM will not be collecting or listing activities, events, and exhibits of museums observing the second anniversary of September 11. Museums are welcome to use the resources of this site if they are planning an anniversary observance with their community.
 
Profiles of Participating Museums
Thank you to all the museum staff who submitted information on their activities, events, exhibits, and ceremonies commemorating the first anniversary of Sept. 11. The outpouring of notes, stories, and press releases was overwhelming. These listings are an account of the positive impact museums made in their communities during this difficult time.

Museums & Community
Museums that participated in the Day of Remembrance recognize the value of working with community. Sustaining our museums in the changing social landscape is not easy or instantaneous, but we can learn from the successes and failures of others. AAM has produced two publications, Mastering Civic Engagement: A Challenge to Museums and A Museums & Community Toolkit to encourage and help museum professionals in listening to community voices and establishing community relationships.

Register for Building Community Connections seminar to learn how you and your institution can become more civically engaged and community conscious. AAM members can read about the seminar in “Cultivating Community Connections” in the May/June 2003 issue of Museum News.
