Broadening Narratives
Broadening Narratives supports diverse stories and collections that expand our understanding of who we are.
Our Vision for Broadening Narratives
We work to ensure that those whose stories are being told through collections are included in the decisions about how those stories are told. We seek to broaden the kinds of narratives being told, particularly stories that have never been told, or have been told incompletely or inaccurately.
This includes stories from culturally specific communities including people of color, LGBTQ+ perspectives, working-class experiences, and small community stories.
We support collections that tell stories that have not been told, have been told incompletely, or have been told inaccurately. We require that those whose stories are being told be included in the decision-making process.
What is broadening narratives?
