10 YEARS IN THE MAKING

Our virtual museum and archive on the history of financial regulation will celebrate its 10th anniversary on June 1st.

Back in 2002, as the digital age was born, the idea of a museum without walls, available anywhere at any time, seemed visionary, at a time when museums existed only within bricks and mortar.

Today, our museum is an unprecedented success. It has been able to harness the power of the Internet to share information and materials, never before accessible, to nearly 1 million visitors, and:

Preserve history, through Papers, Photos, Oral Histories and Film, Radio and Television.

Interpret history, through the Timeline and Galleries.

Make history, through Programs.

Our vision a decade ago of a museum without borders, free and accessible worldwide, is now a reality. Thank you for all that you do to keep the virtual museum and archive current, independent and growing.
