The NHA preserves, interprets, and shares the diverse stories of Nantucket and its people with all audiences through its collections, properties, programs, and research.<\/p>\n
Download the Strategic Plan <\/use> <\/svg><\/a><\/p>\nGoal 1: Reach and Effectively Engage a Broader Audience Both in Person and Online<\/h6>\nThe NHA strives to collaborate with partners to collectively reach more audiences through inclusive programming. This collaborative work and DEIA initiatives within the organization will increase accessibility across the NHA campus. The NHA will explore topical themes of Nantucket by telling diverse stories, including identifying and collecting new stories. The collection and NHA offerings will be made accessible to a global audience through technology.<\/p>\nGoal 2: Center Collections Stewardship<\/h6>\nWe will be diligent in continuing our progress in developing and caring for the collection and exploring ways in which we share it with the public. We will continue the sustained investment in the ongoing digitization effort and maximize active application and usage of technology in making collections available to the public.<\/p>\nGoal 3: Develop Holistic Plan for the Preservation, Maintenance, and Use of Properties<\/h6>\nIncluding the needed annual maintenance of the N HA properties, a Master Properties Plan will be developed that outlines proposed uses for each property and identifies potential properties for strategic acquisition. This will include the creation of various housing options for NHA staff housing. Throughout, this will be done using data collected at each site, which informs best practice related to historic preservation in the age of climate change.<\/p>\nGoal 4: Shape Our Identity<\/h6>\nWe will bring focus to our operations, messaging, and outreach, creating a more cohesive and contemporary image for the Nantucket Historical Association’s various initiatives and brands. This comprehensive approach will include revamping our logos, website, marketing materials, signage, and retail products.<\/p>\nGoal 5: Deepen Our Financial and Organizational Strength<\/h6>\nThe NHA, with sound administrative and governance practices, strives to build and maintain an increasingly healthy organizational culture and a financial base that provides operational resiliency and ensures sustainability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0Mission Statement The NHA preserves, interprets, and shares the diverse stories of Nantucket and its people with all audiences
