Dear Colleague,

We need your help! As collecting institutions (archives, libraries,
museums, cultural heritage institutions, etc.) we ask, whose stories are we
listening to? What voices are represented in our holdings? What materials
and formats are we collecting that record these various histories? What are
we doing to build, maintain, and strengthen trusting, reciprocal
relationships with community partners?

I invite you to join the Documentary Heritage and Preservation Services for
New York (DHPSNY) on a multi-year research project to develop a plan that
guides collecting institutions and individuals to under-documented topics
in New York State History and connects them with local, regional and
state-wide program resources to ensure an equitable and robust historical
record remains for future generations.

This survey is the first step in identifying collections and community
partnerships. The results of this survey will help us to connect with
communities across the state and develop a strategy for greater inclusion
and access to resources and services.
