The Oneida Community Mansion House proposes to host a workshop that will convene mid-to-senior level staff members from statewide small-to-mid-sized institutions to discuss the challenges of and find solutions to funding, interpreting, and doing the physical work of preserving historic structures. Using the Mansion House’s project as a starting point, it will feature a tour of the Mansion House to discuss creative ways to interpret preservation, hard-hat tours that examine the work itself to explore the decisions behind historic preservation, and a roundtable session that addresses how projects can get funded and managed through traditional and creative funding models.

This workshop will take place at the Oneida Community Mansion House

Derrick Pratt

Director of Education & Public Programming

Erie Canal Museum

 

Patrick Stenshorn

Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor

 

Renée Barry

Erie Canal Research Fellow

Erie Canal Museum

This workshop highlights how the Reframing History Toolkit, published by the American Association of State and Local History and Frameworks, can be used to reduce polarization and encourage critical engagement through dialogue. The Erie Canal Museum supported by the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor has altered the way it presents public history to be more responsive to the needs of its community, including both content and delivery. This workshop will take participants through the Erie Canal Museum's learning process with the toolkit, then feature an interactive workshop on how participants can implement effective communication strategies at their own sites.

This workshop will take place at the Erie Canal Museum.

Capacity limited to 25 people.

Working in Real Life: Accessible AR in Historic House Museums

Rosanna Flouty

Director | Clinical Associate Professor, Museum Studies Program

New York University

 

Craig Kapp

Clinical Professor of Computer Science

New York University

 

During this 2-hour workshop, participants will explore Augmented Reality (AR) as a tool to promote engagement and support access to physical spaces for visitors with disabilities using multisensory tools. Participants will gain a greater understanding of digitally-based accessibility practices in small historic houses. They then will use their own images and/or video files to build their own accessible AR experience. After exploring various rapid prototyping tools designed for non-programmers, participants will learn how to construct an Augmented Reality experience. Our focus will be on software with free tiers for hobbyists and a simplified drag-and-drop interface. All levels welcome.

This workshop will take place at the Syracuse Marriott Downtown.
