AASLH Brings Collections Workshop to Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens
July 20 - 22, 2000

For decades AASLH has been known as the home of excellent and affordable
workshops.  This summer AASLH strengthens that reputation with a new
workshop series constructed by a team of national leaders in the history
field.  One offering in that series, the Collections Management and
Practices workshop, will be held at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens in Akron,
Ohio, on July 20-22, 2000.

The workshop agenda will cover context for collections, agents of
deterioration, collections management and care, interpreting
collections, an overview of resources available, and an application
exercise. Lynn Poirer-Wilson, senior vice president for resources &
operations at Strong Museum, and Rick Kerschner, director of
preservation and conservation at Shelburne Museum, will serve as
workshop faculty.

Other workshops in the series include: Leadership Institute for History
Organizations, Historic House Museum Issues and Operations, and
Interpretation Issues and Strategies.

In addition to the lead faculty, each team has an exceptional committee
of professionals developing these outstanding workshops.  Members of the
committees bring to the curriculums many years of experience leading
historical organizations around the country.  They are accomplished and
practiced in their respective fields, successful teachers, authors, and
creative thinkers who break new ground in the development and redesign
of new and existing history organizations.  Each team includes
individuals who are consistently sought after for their abilities to
develop quality programming.

This new series of workshops will be offered twice a year at leading
history organizations, museums, and historic sites around the country.
The workshops address subjects in a “hands-on” environment giving
participants practical guidance that builds on existing skills and
develops new skills.  Registration cost of $185 per AASLH member
includes a notebook of reference materials along with two lunches.
