This program is part of the museum’s Access Collaboration and Equity in Genealogy Initiative (ACEGen) . ACEGen endeavors to document and make publicly accessible records from communities that have been underrepresented in historical institutional collecting. ACEGen fosters collaboration between repositories, organizations, and the public to improve access and equity in Staten Island’s family history records.
These programs are supported by the New York Community Trust and the Altman Foundation.
