Matheson History Museum launches campus renewal initiative to broaden access

The Matheson History Museum in Gainesville has begun a Collections Access and Campus Renewal Initiative aimed at reorganizing its archives and improving public access to its holdings. Plans include relocating the research library into the old American Legion building and moving archival materials to more accessible spaces, with the work expected to wrap up by the end of July 2026. A new exhibit examining the history of slavery is scheduled to open on August 19, accompanied by a welcome reception.
