Upcoming Workshop • Friday, July 20 Taming the Chaos: Collections Management for Small Museums with Robert Myers, Historical Society of Michigan Learn more and register on our website. 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. This workshop, on July 20, addresses a wide variety of storage, preservation, cataloging, and legal issues and is led by a professional curator with decades of experience, Robert Myers. 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.
