  • 1.  #MuseumMonday

    Posted 10-27-2015 08:37 AM


    I had posted about a month ago about the Census Bureau's new outreach to museums that use our data in their exhibits and our plan to feature them on our social media. I have heard from many museum personnel here and we are highlighting one each week with the tag #MuseumMonday. So far they have been the most liked and shared posts on our social media!

    I would like to put the offer back out - any museum interested in being featured can drop me a note - all we need is a photo and a few lines of how you used census data. 

    My team and I are also brainstorming how to increase the use of that particular hashtag - for now, we are encouraging our personnel to send pictures of themselves at museums when on vacation. Anything that draws attention to some of the smaller community museums.

    I would like to express how easy it is working with them on this project and how helpful Dr. Lacey is. I contacted her earlier this month I believe, and she quickly sent all relevant information needed. We're working on a new exhibit right now that we will try to incorporate census data into, and if we do, we look forward to working with the US Census Bureau!
