The Moab Museum will continue ongoing efforts to digitize our oral history collection, collect new stories, and reach new audiences our rich oral history archive. We'll be...

• Digitizing a backlog of oral history material
• Using Listening Stations to record new stories from community members
• Sharing our oral history collection with new audiences by creating a podcast series of local voices

Designed to empower you, our community members, to record the stories and care for the objects important to you beyond the walls of the Museum.

• Recording Stories workshops on collecting oral histories are designed to help community members capture and share stories.
• Caring for Keepsakes workshops with the Museum's Curatorial & Collections Manager help attendees learn the basics of how to take care of beloved family keepsakes at home.

In-gallery events will provide fresh perspectives on the importance of local history, engage our audiences, and provide a view behind-the-scenes into Museum work. 

• Join us for live object preservation demonstrations from a professional conservator working on objects on display.
• Beat the heat and explore pop-up exhibits at the Grand Center during the summer.
• Stay tuned for speaker events this Fall!

Are you a longtime Moabite? An aspiring Sherlock Holmes? There are numerous unidentified photographs in the Museum's Collection, and we are seeking the community's help in putting names to faces! Keep an eye out: we'll be running ads in the local papers and doing a social media campaign seeking to identify people, places, and determine dates for some of the evocative mystery photos in the Collection.

Do you have treasured photographs at home? Use the Museum's professional quality scanning equipment to digitize your photos during our November Scan-A-Thon! If you'd like, you can elect to donate digital copies to the Museum- and either way, you'll help preserve your family's memories digitally for future generations.

A 2023 temporary exhibit will feature the projects undertaken and stories preserved thanks to the Community History Program. Your involvement -through workshops, events, outreach initiatives, and more- shapes all that we do.
