OUR
FUTURE
Since its inception, the Holocaust
Resource Center and Archives has relied heavily
on State and City funding. In these uncertain economic times, and in order
to ensure the future of this center and its critical work, these funding
sources are not enough. Therefore, Queensborough Community College has
recently launched a major fundraising campaign, “Building
on Our Tradition,” that incorporates a commitment to the
Holocaust Resource Center and Archives. It
is time for us to turn to other sources of funding to enable us to expand
our services, and ensure that the Center will remain a leader in Holocaust
education.
This
campaign embodies a three-fold promise:
- To provide the HRCA a permanent and proper home without the
use of public dollars in order to ensure its use for this purpose so long
as the College exists
- To enhance and preserve our comprehensive collection of Holocaust materials.
- To establish an endowment that will ensure adequate staffing, continuous
programming, and dissemination of Holocaust related materials to educators,
scholars, students, and the public at large.
Funds
from our Preserving History Campaign will support:
- Creation of a new 7,000 sq. ft. facility for the Holocaust Center
- Expansion of Educational Services of the Holocaust Center
Plans
call for the new Holocaust Center to be housed in a prominent facility
on campus, with an additional 4900 square feet to house the expanding
collections and provide more exhibition space.
As a result, we can increase our exhibit programming, accommodate larger
groups for tours, and expand our ever-growing library collection.
