Innovating with collections

The Ontario Museum Association is pleased to share, in collaboration with Toronto History Museums and Digital Action Research & Training, a new resource for museums to ethically collect, preserve, and leverage oral histories and born-digital collections. This new resource builds on leading international best practices and is the product of the ‘Innovating with Collections Online’ project, funded by the Museums Assistance Program from the Department of Canadian Heritage, which provided mentorship and learning for five museums to engage with and mobilize ethical oral history and born-digital collections in their institution.
