A key component of the Long Island Collection initiative is fostering strong partnerships with cultural institutions, museums, and historical organizations across Long Island. Through these collaborations, we share knowledge, resources, and expertise to deepen the collective understanding of the region’s rich heritage. By integrating complementary collections and inviting contributions from partner organizations, we enrich the narrative of Long Island’s history and expand access to important artifacts and stories. This network of shared stewardship strengthens community connections and helps ensure that Long Island’s diverse past is preserved and accessible to both local audiences and visitors from around the world.
