Does your museum or heritage site need help with research, exhibition development, artifact documentation, policy development, social media, website creation or other tasks?
Yes?
Brandon University’s Public History Program can assist!
We regularly work with prairie museums and other places where history is made public to offer support with problem-solving and a host of critical tasks. We also have ready-to-loan mobile prairie history exhibitions suitable for small and larger museum spaces.
Best of all, it’s FREE!
Students carry out projects in exchange for coursework credit. They get real-world public history experience and your institution gets high-quality research and other tasks completed, under the careful supervision of our faculty.
