A priority of the program is to create ongoing relationships with local and regional institutions dedicated to the preservation, study, and display of material culture. Forging these connections enables faculty and students to get involved with local organizations, conduct primary research on important collections, and participate in Kiramounting exhibitions.

Students in the program have already taken advantage of internship and employment opportunities at institutions and organizations such as the Chipstone Foundation; the Chazen Museum of Art; the John Michael Kohler Arts Center; the Kohler Foundation; the Milwaukee Art Museum; the Preservation Division of Mead and Hunt; Ten Chimneys Foundation; and the Wisconsin Historical Society.  Here is a sampling of some of these projects:
