The ACEGen - the Access, Collaboration, and Equity in Genealogy Initiative, is a collaboration between repositories, organizations, and the public to improve access and equity in Staten Island's family history records. Project partners Gabriella Leone of the Staten Island Museum and Debbie-Ann Paige of the Staten Island Chapter of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical society will share how ACEGen uses digitization, transcription, and dialogue to build strong institutional relationships, engage participants online and in person, and center equity and inclusion work.
