Meet The Collection

Curious about History Colorado’s collection? Join us for Meet the Collection, a program meant to inspire, spark conversation and connect people with The Collection.  This is a unique chance to see and interact with some rare, beautiful, unusual and sometimes common items with significant stories to tell.  You'll have the opportunity to meet with staff, donors, conservators, content experts or others that care for, and find inspiration from, History Colorado’s 15 million plus items representing 13,000 years of human history in our state.

Museum Basics

History Colorado is excited to offer a new professional series-- Museum Basics. This series is designed for those who work or volunteer at cultural institutions such as museums, libraries, and archives, as well as graduate students interested in the same line of work. Courses cover a variety of topics and are perfect for those looking to gain a better understanding of the basics of working in cultural institutions.
