The ConsidertheSourceNY.org Diversity and Collaborative Knowledge Program and Institutes are made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

The individuals and partner organizations in every region of the state are the heart of the Diversity and Collaborative Knowledge Network. They provide support for the centers, institutes, repositories, and educators enabling us to continuously add to the primary sources available on this website and offer trainings for the curators of those records and the educators bringing those records into their classrooms.
