Understanding how we fit into our world requires a lot of personal work, but museums can help people on that journey. The past shapes our present, just as our present shapes the future. History forms in every single moment and in every individual. Rather than focusing on the prominent and the powerful, Hindsight 2020 will highlight the diverse stories and experiences of everyday people of the greater Dubuque area. The Dubuque County Historical Society is dedicated to collecting around major moments in recent history and preserving items that may be difficult to collect in the future - by asking you, our community, to help. From a global COVID-19 pandemic that affected every facet of life, to the murder of George Floyd and expansion of the Black Lives Matter movement, to an election unlike any other, there are many local stories to collect, preserve, and share. Hindsight 2020 will be a community collecting initiative to document the events of 2020 and beyond, and their impact on our local community. By March of 2020, history was made daily, right before our eyes, and Hindsight 2020 is our attempt to capture it through rapid response collecting. The hugely significant events of 2020 will be with us for years to come. Resources for Historical Societies and Museums.National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium.
