Outreach Programs

Digital Fridays: Your History is Worcester History

There are three easy steps to this FREE program:

Bring your personal photographs to a WHM “image station” for museum staff to scan

Identify the people, places, and events in the photo
Take the original home and leave the scanned copy with us so a part of your life becomes part of the Museum’s collection and Worcester history.

Digital Fridays is supported and administered by the Worcester Cultural Commission, for the local Cultural Council - an agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Worcester ID

Worcester ID is an interactive photo presentation in which you help museum staff identify undocumented pictures of Worcester’s past from the museum’s collection.

If your organization is interested in hosting a Digital Fridays or Worcester ID, contact rchristensen@worcesterhistory.net

WHM chronicles closing churches

Worcester Historical Museum is currently documenting the histories of the Worcester Catholic churches which were closed on July 1st and the communities that have worshipped in them. The Museum is collecting and taking photographs of the church interiors and exteriors, as well as scanning parishioners' personal photos and recording their oral histories for the Museum's archives and permanent collection.

st. mm Collecting and preserving the history of Worcester is part the mission of WHM and the Museum is becoming more engaged in active chronicling -- collecting material as history happens.
