Making Communities Count: Census Engagement for Local History Museums

Census data plays a vital role in telling the stories of our communities. Local historians understand how powerful this information can be in documenting place, people, and change over time—but what role can museums and history organizations play in supporting the collection of census data?

Join Susan Brower, Minnesota State Demographer, and Jaci David of Minnesotans for the American Community Survey and 2030 Census (MACS) for an engaging discussion designed for Minnesota’s local history community. As organizing for the 2030 Census gets underway, this session will explore the census, the state’s role in census work, and how your organization can support meaningful community engagement that strengthens historical storytelling.
