New-York Historical Society

The New-York Historical Society will support the development and production of interactive exhibition elements and complementary curriculum materials for a new Children’s Gallery & Library, a designated educational space planned to open in November 2011. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) funds will support the content development, design, and printing of curriculum materials for four educational formats—teacher workshops, student programs, family programs, and after school programs—that will complement the sixteen media interactives planned for the Children’s Gallery & Library. The gallery will allow the N-YHS, for the first time, to tailor a gallery space entirely to students, teachers, children, and families, an audience that has grown 63% in the last year alone.
