7 SERBIAN HERITAGE MUSEUM wishes all: Mir Boziji – Hristos Se Rodi! UPDATE - In February, 2013 the SHM was fortunate to be the recipient of a $27,250 Museum Technology Fund (MTF) grant from the Government of Ontario, and since then much activity has taken place. Well over 5,000 items in our collection consisting of documents, books, and artifacts will be available on our new Website to be launched this February including every issue of The Voice of Canadian Serbs newspaper which the SNO has granted permission to digitize and provide access to. THURSDAY BBQs - Many thanks for your generous community support of the monthly BBQS from May to September. The success was not only because of those who attended, but also because of everyone who volunteered their time for the preparation and during the BBQ. MTF Digitization Project - This project will be complete by March, 2014 and in order for the SHM to stay viable, sources of income will have to be found. There are many grant opportunities, however, someone has to do the work. For many grants the museum must have a dedicated curator and an active Board. Believe us, the Board is very active, however, we need someone from the community to step up and dedicate some time to be a curator. DONATE - In the spirit of gift-giving, please think of Your Museum, in the form of a donation, whether that donation is money (tax deductible for donations over $25), artifacts, or your time. Also, if you have pennies, consider donating them to Your Museum. The Museum gift shop is open and we carry a wide selection of items from jewelry, t-shirts, CD’s, books, artwork and Icons. We welcome you to browse and let us know if there’s something you’ve been looking for and the Museum will try to supply it.
