With 2023 behind us, here’s a look back at a few of our proudest accomplishments from the year. For such a small team, we were able to do so much!

While we would have loved to be able to include all aspects of our work over this past year, we would never be able to succinctly encapsulate it all in one article. You can find the full extent of our work around our site in Voices, the Directory, DIGITIZE, the Calendar, and ENGAGE, the newest component of the Northwest Cultural Resource Center.
