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. Learn more and register on our website. The Historical Society of Michigan is our state’s oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan’s rich history.
