Libraries strive to create a welcoming space for all members of the public. Part of that process involves engaging with diverse communities and building understanding within those communities. The following presentation will point librarians toward materials that reflect and explore the experiences of others, help others learn new resources, and incorporate multicultural artifacts. The Portal to Texas History features multicultural artifacts that users can examine. These artifacts represent a range of experiences from different groups of people including LGBTQIA+ individuals, people of color, people with disabilities, and other minorities. The digital library content can aid librarians and educators to supplement diversity-oriented programs and curriculum.
