Active Collections
Rainey Tisdale, a co-founder of the Active Collections movement, will join us to discuss trends and issues affecting the way museums acquire, manage, and use their collections. Active Collections works to generate discussion and action across the museum field to develop a new approach to collections, one that is more effective and sustainable.
Rainey Tisdale is a museum consultant specializing in interpretive & strategic planning, content & collections curation, institutional capacity building, and igniting the creative process. She leads for change on a number of field-wide museum issues, including place-based interpretation, creative practice, collections stewardship, and the impact of museums on lifelong well-being. Her books Creativity in Museum Practice (Routledge, 2013, co-authored with Linda Norris) and Active Collections (Routledge, 2017, co-edited with Trevor Jones and Elee Wood, winner of the 2020 National Council on Public History book award) are essential texts for museum workers in the United States and abroad. You can find her ideas and opinions in Exhibition, the Journal of Museum Education, and History News, and online at Active Collections, and TEDxBoston.
