The Albert County Historical Society held its first meeting of the year on January 7th to discuss the operations of the Albert County Museum for the 2016 season.
A couple of milestones will be marked this year included the 40th annual Quilt Show and Sale and the 250th Anniversary of the Steeves family in Albert County. It was confirmed that the Museum has received a grant to create an exhibit on the history of the Steeves family.
The need to focus more on the Museum's social media presence was brought up. Currently, the Museum has nearly 500 followers on Facebook and a blog on the Museum's website. A target of two social media posts every week was set. It was also agreed that the Museum should make better use of its digital collection.
Other topics discussed were the food-related events for the coming year, possible use of the museum’s diary collection for engagement activities, and what other milestones the Albert County Museum should highlight.
The Historical Society intends to have a planning meeting every week until June; meetings are tentatively scheduled for Thursday evenings.
