Many small museums and historical societies struggle with basic curatorial issues related to their artifact, textile, archival, and other collections. Collections management on a limited budget poses many challenges. Led by a professional curator with decades of experiences, this workshop addresses a wide variety of storage, preservation, cataloging, and legal issues.

 

Participants can “attend” remotely, if they prefer. See our website for full details.
