Description

Collecting historical artifacts doesn’t always mean seeking out the old. Museums also collect contemporary artifacts, as well as the stories surrounding those objects, for the benefit of future generations. In this podcast episode Curator Geoff Woodcox and Registrar Sarah Dickinson show some contemporary pieces in the Sloan Museum history collection and the significance they hold for future museum-goers. Sarah also talks about the donation process for anyone who thinks they may have an artifact of significance that will help tell the stories from Flint and Genesee County. You can download a form and learn more about artifact donation at SloanLongway.org/artifact-donation.
