[PADG:1183] AASLH Collections Management Workshop in March

[Tara White <white@xxxxxxxxx>]

Registration for the Spring Collections Management and Practices Workshop
in Raleigh ends February 15!
 
The registration deadline for the American Association for State
and Local History's Collections Management and Practices
spring workshop is fast approaching. This workshop will be held March
15-17 at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh, North
Carolina. Registration is $250 for AASLH members. Deadline
for registration is February 15, 2001. The Collections Management
and Practices summer workshop will be held July 19-21 at the Shelburne
Museum in Shelburne, Vermont.
A part of our new "Not Your Ordinary Workshop Series," participants
in the Collections Management and Practices workshop will learn about their
institution's responsibility toward its collections, the necessary policies
and procedures, and the best practices of collection management. 
During lively group discussions and hands-on activities taught by Lynne
Poirier-Wilson and Rick Kerschner, participants will become familiar with
current issues and trends to better understand how collections fit within
the context of history organizations.  Participants will explore other
topics including the role of collections in exhibition and interpretation,
the basic steps of collections management from acquisition to disposal,
professional standards and ethics, conservation on a shoe-string budget,
as well as learning about the multitude of resources available for collections
preservation.
This workshop is targeted to new professionals and dedicated volunteers
with responsibility for collections at their institutions.
