Program areas at Detroit Historical Society
Management and oversight of the Detroit Historical museum and dossin great lakes museum - the Detroit Historical museums provide opportunities for individuals of all ages to experience a variety of Historical stories and artifacts. The Detroit Historical museum is open four days per week, 52 weeks per year. The dossin great lakes museum is open three days per week, 52 weeks per year. Both museums are open for private tours on days they are not open to the public. Together, the museums serve more than 150,000 people annually.
Maintaining more than 260,000 artifacts in the city of Detroit's collection, the Detroit Historical Society ensures the conservation and preservation of artifacts related to the history of the people, places, and events critical to the city of Detroit's history. A team of staff, interns, and volunteers is working to digitize aspects of the collection and place the information online. Even with the abatement of covid-19, the appetite for digital content continues, and the organization is now focused on digitization as a way to increase accessibility to these artifacts for those that cannot come to the museums. The organization continues to receive several thousand items annually.
Public programs - the Detroit Historical museums' goal is to offer opportunities for constituents to go in-depth on certain Historical topics, either through lectures, workshops, films, or tours. The organization hosts approximately 35 community tours annually and approximately 28 in-museum programs. Generally, these programs are targeted at adults and seniors; however, there are special events and programs throughout the year aimed at students and families. The average community tour attendance is 30 people, and the average in-museum program attracts 40 individuals.
