The document provides information about ways for people to get involved with the MOSI-ALONG project by sharing their personal stories and memories related to the Museum of Science and Industry's collections. People can (1) share stories online using social media and tagging them with #mosialong, (2) add comments to photos on the project's Flickr page, or (3) create a "Cabinet of Curiosities" display to share at a community event in September where the best contribution will win an iPad. The project aims to connect community histories to the museum's collections using social media.
