Resources
Learn how individuals and organizations around the world activate historic sites as new forums for citizen engagement in contemporary issues. Explore practical tools and resources developed by established and new museums in a wide variety of cultural and political contexts.
We welcome your suggestions! If you have an idea for resources you’d like to see on our website, please contact us at coalition@tenement.org.
Program and Evaluation Models
Our program designs help visitors draw connections between the past and the present, using the stories of what happened at a site to inspire new conversation and action about its legacies. Develop your own civic engagement projects through exhibit devices, dialogue techniques and evaluation tools from successful museums and historic sites around the world. View more program tools here.
