About the company
The Washington State Historical Society (WSHS) is home to the Washington State History Museum and Research Center in Tacoma. It serves a statewide audience, exploring how history connects people. WSHS is a U.S. state government entity that has received federal grant funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) for museum and historical preservation projects.
Through IMLS grant awards, WSHS has undertaken projects to install new permanent exhibitions interpreting the history and sovereignty of Washington state's tribal nations. In partnership with Native curators, advisory committees, and Indigenous artists, these exhibitions aim to accurately portray tribal histories, sovereignty, and perspectives. Another IMLS-funded initiative, "Dialogue in Place," engages community and tribal partners to determine the future of the Society's historical markers from 1900-1950 that present complicated, inaccurate, or incomplete histories. This involves developing processes for civic dialogue, reinterpreting, removing, or replacing markers, and producing guidance for similar efforts by other organizations. WSHS has also received a federal sub-grant from the Washington Military Department related to COVID-19 emergency protective measures. Overall, WSHS utilizes federal grants to further its mission of preserving and interpreting history through museum exhibitions, civic engagement, and consultations with stakeholders like tribal nations.
