Return Reference	Explanation
FORM 990, PART III	PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A ONE OF THE EARLIEST KNOWN EXAMPLES OF THIS FORM PRODUCED IN CHARLESTON. PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT OBJECTS (OVER 6,000) ARE ON DISPLAY TO THE VISITING PUBLIC IN EXHIBIT GALLERIES AND THE MUSEUM'S TWO HISTORIC HOUSES, WHILE OTHERS ARE USED EXTENSIVELY FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES. CURATORIAL STAFF REGULARLY WORK WITH RESEARCHERS AND COLLEAGUE INSTITUTIONS TO SHARE THE COLLECTIONS. A DIGITIZATION PROJECT IS UNDERWAY TO ELECTRONICALLY CATALOG COLLECTIONS, AND SEGMENTS OF THE COLLECTIONS DATABASE (TOTALING NEARLY 14,000 OBJECTS) ARE AVAILABLE ON THE MUSEUM'S WEBSITE, WHERE THEY CAN BE ACCESSED BY RESEARCHERS AROUND THE WORLD. DUE TO THE DEPTH AND DIVERSITY OF THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS, RESEARCHERS REGULARLY STUDY ITS ARTIFACTS AND MAKE USE OF THIS DATA IN SCHOLARLY STUDIES. CURATORIAL STAFF METHODICALLY EVALUATE COLLECTIONS TO ENSURE THAT INDIVIDUAL PIECES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE MUSEUM'S MISSION FOCUS. OBJECTS OUTSIDE THE MUSEUM'S MISSION ARE EVALUATED THROUGH A RIGOROUS DEACCESSIONING PROCESS, CONSISTING OF BOTH STAFF AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES REVIEW, AND REMOVED FROM THE COLLECTION, IF APPROPRIATE. THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS POLICY ALLOWS FOR USE OF THESE DEACCESSIONED OBJECTS IN MUSEUM PROGRAMS, TRANSFER TO OTHER MUSEUMS OR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, OR SALE, PREFERABLY AT AUCTION. PER THE COLLECTIONS POLICY, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AMERICAN ALLIANCE OF MUSEUMS ETHICS POLICY, ANY AND ALL PROCEEDS FROM SALES OF DEACCESSIONED OBJECTS ARE USED SOLELY FOR THE PURCHASE OF NEW OBJECTS FOR THE COLLECTION AND DIRECT CARE FOR OBJECTS CURRENTLY IN THE COLLECTION. DIRECT CARE EXPENDITURES ARE REGARDED AS THOSE THAT INVEST IN THE EXISTING COLLECTIONS BY ENHANCING THEIR LIFE, USEFULNESS OR QUALITY, THEREBY INSURING THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BENEFIT THE PUBLIC. OBJECTS DEACCESSIONED AND SOLD AT AUCTION IN 2023 INCLUDED FURNITURE, A BUILDING ORNAMENT, AND NEEDLEWORK THAT HAD NO HISTORICAL CONNECTION TO SOUTH CAROLINA. PAGE 2, SCHEDULE III, LINE 4B THE MUSEUM'S BUNTING NATURAL HISTORY GALLERY, WHICH OPENED IN 2017, PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF AREA NATURAL HISTORY USING FOSSILS, CASTS, ANIMAL MOUNTS, GEOLOGIC EXAMPLES, AND BOTANY SPECIMENS FROM THE MUSEUM'S EXTENSIVE COLLECTIONS. A MAJOR HIGHLIGHT OF THE GALLERY IS A COMPLETE SKELETON OF PELAGORNIS SANDERSI, THE WORLD'S LARGEST KNOWN FLYING BIRD TO HAVE EVER EXISTED, CAST FROM THE ORIGINAL FOSSILS IN THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS. IN 2018-2019, THE MUSEUM RENOVATED ITS RICE CULTURE, REVOLUTIONARY WAR, ANTEBELLUM, AND CIVIL WAR EXHIBITS TO INCORPORATE THE MOST RECENT RESEARCH, PROVIDE A MORE INCLUSIVE INTERPRETATION, AND BETTER PRESENT KEY ARTIFACTS. IN 2021, CURATORIAL AND EXHIBITS STAFF INSTALLED UPDATED OR NEW INTERPRETATION RELATED TO THE ABOLITIONIST GRIMKE SISTERS, THE DENMARK VESEY REBELLION, AND THE FORCED REMOVAL OF NATIVE PEOPLES FROM THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. PLANS ARE UNDERWAY TO CONTINUE THE STORY OF AREA HISTORY UP TO THE 21ST CENTURY WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION BEING GIVEN TO NARRATIVES OF THOSE THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN UNDEREMPHASIZED. IN 2022, THE MUSEUM IMPLEMENTED AN AUDIO TOUR FOR ITS HEYWARD-WASHINGTON HOUSE, WHICH PLACES PARTICULAR FOCUS ON THE ENSLAVED PEOPLE WHO RESIDED AND LABORED AT THE HOUSE THROUGHOUT ITS COLONIAL, REVOLUTIONARY,AND ANTEBELLUM HISTORY. THE MUSEUM COMMEMORATED THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS FOUNDING IN 2023, AND MARKED THE OCCASION WITH THREE SPECIAL EXHIBITS RELATED TO ITS HISTORY AND COLLECTIONS AS WELL AS PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AS PART OF THE COMMEMORATION, THE MUSEUM PUBLISHED A BOOK CENTERED ON ITS HISTORY, ITS COLLECTIONS, AND HISTORIC PROPERTIES, WHICH SOLD NEARLY HALF OF ITS INITIAL PRINT RUN WITHIN 18 MONTHS. IT ALSO LAUNCHED A YOUTUBE CHANNEL THAT FEATURES EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS CONCERNING THE COLLECTIONS AND LOWCOUNTRY HISTORY. PUBLIC RESPONSE TO MUSEUM ACTIVITIES FOR THE ANNIVERSARY WAS TREMENDOUS, AND THE MUSEUM WELCOMED 127,034 VISITORS IN 2023, ITS HIGHEST NUMBER OF VISITORS IN OVER TWENTY YEARS. GUESTS VISIT THE MUSEUM FROM EVERY COUNTY IN SOUTH CAROLINA, EVERY STATE IN THE U.S., AND OVER 50 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD. ATTENDANCE INCREASED 6% OVER 2022 AND IS NOW 10% OVER THE 4-YEAR PRE-PANDEMIC AVERAGE. PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO MEET SOUTH CAROLINA CURRICULUM STANDARDS FOR SOCIAL STUDIES AND SCIENCE, AND THE MUSEUM HAS DEVELOPED PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS AND NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT THEM TO DEVELOP SPECIALIZED PROGRAMMING. ON-SITE SCHOOL PROGRAMS WERE DRAMATICALLY IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC, BUT SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS TO THE MUSEUM MADE A REMARKABLE RECOVERY IN 2023, INCREASING OVER 50%. MUSEUM EDUCATORS HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND NON-PROFIT FUNDING AGENCIES TO DEVELOP PROGRAMS THAT CAN BE BROUGHT TO SCHOOLS BY MUSEUM EDUCATORS WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON PROVIDING THESE PROGRAMS TO TITLE I SCHOOLS. EDUCATION DEPARTMENT STAFF HAVE DEVELOPED A "BRAGG BOX" PROGRAM, NAMED FOR THE MUSEUM'S FIRST FEMALE DIRECTOR WHO INITIATED A SIMILAR PROGRAM, WHICH ARE KITS CONTAINING ARTIFACT REPLICAS, ACTIVITIES, AND LESSON PLANS THAT CAN BE SENT TO SCHOOLS TO BRING THE MUSEUM EXPERIENCE TO THEM. THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT ALSO PRESENTS EDUCATIONAL SUMMER CAMPS, PROGRAMS FOR HOME SCHOOLERS, AND FAMILY EVENTS FOR PARENTS TO ENJOY WITH THEIR CHILDREN. ADULT PROGRAMS INCLUDE TEACHER RECERTIFICATION TRAINING, PUBLIC LECTURES, WORKSHOPS, AND SPECIALIZED TOURS AND WALKS. MANY OF THESE TAKE PLACE AT THE DILL SANCTUARY, MAINTAINED AS A WILDLIFE SANCTUARY AND RICH IN NATURAL AND HISTORIC FEATURES. IN MAY 2023, THE MUSEUM BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED AN UPDATE TO ITS STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE DILL SANCTUARY, REINFORCING ITS COMMITMENT TO THE PERMANENT CARE AND PRESERVATION OF THIS PROPERTY AND EXPLORING WAYS TO MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN THE COMING YEARS. AMONG MAJOR OBJECTIVES WILL BE DEVELOPMENT OF A LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY, WHICH WILL OUTLINE MORE ACTIVE ECOLOGICALLY-MOTIVATED LAND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. PROGRAMS THERE IN 2023 INCLUDED FIVE WEEKS OF SUMMER CAMP, TOURS OF THE CIVIL WAR BATTERIES ON THE PROPERTY, ECOLOGY TOURS, AND A SPECIAL COMMUNITY DAY ALLOWING FREE ACCESS, WHICH DREW OVER 600 GUESTS.
