Memorial & Museum Collections Manager Addresses National Conference

September 15, 2011

Collections Manager Helen Stiefmiller was a panelist/presenter for Mementos and Tributes, a session at the American Association of State and Local History annual meeting in Richmond, VA. She was joined by colleagues from the U.S. Army Center of Military History, Arlington National Cemetery, National September 11th Memorial and Museum and the Vietnam Memorial to address the phenomenon of people leaving tribute artifacts at memorials, museums and national cemeteries. The session explored how diverse historical entities deal with the collections, as well as political and public relations issues raised by this aspect of an increasingly participatory culture.
