National Medal for Museum and Library Service

Our role in shaping our community was recognized nationally by the Institute of Museum and Library Services when we received a 2009-10 National Medal for Museum and Library Service. We were nominated locally by long-time community leader William Mallory Sr., with letters of support from parent and Museum Center member Margaret O’Donoghue and public school teacher Marie T. Dornbusch.

We were excited to receive this national award in Washington, D.C. and were honored that Faith Anne Brown, one of our Youth Program graduates, could help us accept it. Faith Anne developed her sense of leadership by working with our visitors, digging for dinosaur bones in Montana and by sharing life experiences with other Cincinnati area teens in our youth development program. 她现在毕业于圣. Ursula Academy and Howard University with an honors degree in chemistry. She went on to study public health at the graduate level.

This prestigious honor — it’s been called the Oscar, Emmy or Pulitzer of the museum world — is awarded to outstanding museums and libraries that make exceptional contributions to their communities, and demonstrate extraordinary and innovative approaches to public service, 包容与社区外展. We were pleased to share this honor locally with the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, 哪一个在2013年获得了该奖项.

American Association of Museums Accreditation

Accreditation signifies excellence to the museum community, 给政府, 资助者, outside agencies and to the museum-going public. Of the nation’s estimated 17,500 museums, 778 (only 4.5%)目前已获得认证. Cincinnati Museum Center is one of 26 museums accredited in Ohio and joins the Cincinnati Art Museum, Taft Museum of Art and Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden as accredited institutions in Cincinnati. Cincinnati Museum Center is one of only 16 institutions nationally honored with both the IMLS award as well as AAM Accreditation.

Accreditation is a rigorous process that examines all aspects of a museum’s operations. 获得认证, a museum first must conduct a year of self-study, then undergo a site visit by a team of peer reviewers. AAM认可委员会, an independent and autonomous body of museum professionals, review and evaluate the self-study and visiting committee report to determine whether a museum should receive accreditation. While the time to complete the process varies by museum, it generally takes three years. Museums are not required to apply for accreditation; the process is completely self-motivated to be sure one is operating at the highest possible level.

AAM applauded Cincinnati Museum Center as a well-organized and well-run museum, with deep roots in the community and dedicated stakeholders (trustees, 管理, 职员及义工). 具体地说, Museum Center's Youth Programs and annual Learning Through Play conference were noted to serve as national models of working with at-risk students and with parents. 另外, the Accreditation Commission was impressed with Museum Center's outstanding efforts to preserve historic 结合终端 and its collaboration with the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.
