by the??and the?, DHPSNY’s 2024 antiracism programming revolves around building an inclusive
250th and the guiding question: "How do we make our collecting organizations interdisciplinary and representative of the realities of our many New York histories?"
DHPSNY Dialogue
An Introduction to NYS Field Guide and Indigenous History is New York’s History
Date:?Thursday, February?1, 2024
Time:?2:00 PM – 4:00 PM

Our inaugural Dialogue of the year sets the stage by introducing the 250th field guides and delving into the integral narrative of Indigenous history as inseparable from
New York's collective identity. Participants are invited to engage in a thoughtful reexamination of Indigenous histories and experiences (both historical and contemporary). Through nuanced exploration, our aim is to spark essential conversations about the
pivotal roles our sites and collections play in shaping narratives, and the pressing need to foster meaningful connections with Indigenous communities across what is now New York State. This program is designed for anyone who works in or volunteers for a library,
archive, museum, historical society, or history/culture site in New York State.
