Follow on Google News | Smithsonian Exhibition Exploring America's Workforce Coming to North CarolinaBy: North Carolina Humanities Council "The Way We Worked" will tour six communities in North Carolina in 2018, hosted by small museums, public libraries, historic sites, community centers, parks and other local organizations. The deadline to submit proposals to host the exhibit is June 30, 2016. Applications, instructions and RFP information can be found at www.nchumanities.org. Adapted from an original exhibition developed by the National Archives and Records Administration, "The Way We Worked" explores how work has become a central element in American culture. It traces the many changes that have affected the workforce and work environments over the past 150 years, including the growth of manufacturing and increasing use of technology. The exhibition draws from the Archives' rich collections, including historical photographs, accounts of workers, film, audio and interactives, to tell the story of how work affects individual lives and the historical and cultural fabric of our communities. "Allowing all of our state's residents to have access to the cultural resources of our nation's premiere museum is a priority of the North Carolina Humanities Council" said Paula Watkins, Executive Director of the North Carolina Humanities Council. "With each of our Museum on Main Street tours, we are pleased to work with local host venues to build the capacity of our state's local cultural institutions and to provide public programs to compliment the Smithsonian exhibition."
