We are a not-for-profit professional network and collaborative resource hub committed to facilitating a resilient, innovative and responsive cultural heritage sector within the Kingston and area community.The Kingston Association of Museums, Art Galleries and Historic Sites - otherwise known as KAM - first emerged 40 years ago as a community-initiated, professional support network to promote public awareness and increase engagement across Kingston's cultural heritage sites through collective promotional and programming initiatives. KAM is also engaged in supporting its membership through the dissemination of information, sector best practices, and professional development opportunities.Our members range from federally owned sites with professional staff, to sites which are member-owned and volunteer operated. Some operate seasonally; others are open year round. Many have specialist collections that tell the stories and histories of our communities from local, regional and national perspectives.From its inception, KAM was driven by the ideal that by working collaboratively, despite differences in size, mandates and resources, cultural heritage sites and organizations could quite simply, do better together, improving practice and strengthening their connections within and across communities.
