Title
24 Hours in a Time of Change
Description
Curators from several Smithsonian museums proposed an institution-wide collecting effort to document experiences from across the United States in a single day. This became "24 Hours in a Time of Change," and people across the nation contributed to the website by following a list of prompts. The National Museum of American History also formed a Rapid Response Collecting Task Force to collect objects, photographs, and documents that address topics such as medical procedures, philanthropic and civic responses, business practices, and culture. The National Museum of African American History and Culture is seeking digital materials, with particular attention to forging connections with communities that may not be online. Shared via institutional newsletters and on social media and covered in local and national news.
