Internship: Front Page Newsletter!

Stephanie and I had a chance to introduce ourselves in a neat way by being featured, not only in but on the front page of the OMAH March/April Newsletter! Here's a taste of what we got to write about.

When we started we were given the task of populating OMAH's YouTube channel and it has opened up a whole world of possibilities. It is evident that museums can not only break the digital barrier, but thrive within it. As I mentioned on #MuseumSelfie Day, there are opportunities for museums to connect with their visitors online as much as in person. There are opportunities not only for promotion, but for education and entertainment - keeping our visitors with us, long after they've walked out the museum's doors.

Just because OMAH is a relatively small community museum, does not mean it has to be limited in what it can offer. The great part about reaching out via digital media for non-profit organizations such as OMAH is that it is of relatively small cost to take on the endavour. Where it is important is finding people with the passion and energy to make it worthwhile.

Hopefully Steph and I are helping create those ground stones for OMAH to continue with digital video in the future.
