Lord Cultural Resources

Cultural Capital Spring-Summer 2016

Gail and Barry Lord, Co-Founders and Co-Presidents

“Museums never cease to amaze and inspire us.” “Thirty-five years ago when we began Lord Cultural Resources, museums were discovering their role in public education. Today they are finding their diverse voices through new approaches, collections, and programs.” “We continue to be passionate about our work and are committed to assisting institutions, communities, and clients worldwide in developing their cultural capital to maximum public benefit.” That’s why, as Gail and Barry work with clients, they also attend conferences and guest-lecture at universities and colleges, sharing their knowledge and ideas with the world. Gail and Barry have been recognized for their achievements and contributions to the cultural field both at home and internationally. In 2016, the Lords are to receive an honorary LLD (Doctor of Letters) degree from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. In 2014, Gail was appointed an Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de la France by the French Government. In 2011, ICOM Canada awarded Gail and Barry Lord the International Achievement Award for promoting excellence in Canadian museology on an international scale, recognizing Lord Cultural Resources’ projects as nationally and internationally significant, exceeding the current standard of practice. In 2002, the Ontario Museums Association honored Gail and Barry Lord with the OMA Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Museum Field in Ontario. Back to main page...
