Program evaluation and audience outreach leading to the development of more inclusive interpretive strategies to meet the needs of residents of Laurel, Maryland.

The Laurel Historical Society seeks funds to conduct comprehensive evaluation and analysis of collections and public programs. The proposed project would strengthen interpretation as a result of internal and outward-facing evaluations to assess the gaps in our current collection, evaluate our programs and community needs, engage in listening sessions, and interview community members and stakeholders. These approaches would aid the organization in strengthening interpretation and public programming at the Laurel Historical Society.
