WSIU Public Television's History Connector initiative partners each year with regional and local organizations and individuals to uncover, preserve, protect, interpret, and share this region's rich historical and cultural heritage with citizens of all ages.

WSIU's History Connector InFocus programming visited the diverse and unique treasures in regional museums throughout southern Illinois. These museums showcase an array of unique collections that represent the multilayered history of the region, and the lives of the people who call it home.
