The Winedale Museum Seminar on Administration & Interpretation is a ten day
residential training program designed to improve the quality and promote
the continuing development of museums, historical organizations and
cultural institutions.  The seminar is open to staff members and
experienced volunteers of museums, historic sites and cultural
organizations of all sizes.  Participants are selected through an
application process.  Topics include:  administrative issues, grant
writing, trustee relations, volunteer management, interpreter training,
object research, historical photos, educational programming, living
history, program evaluation, design and fabrication of exhibits,
conservation of collections, web site development, security and special
events.  A field trip to San Antonio museums offers an opportunity for a
break in the classroom schedule and a chance to experience some Texas
culture!  Twenty participants live dormitory style at the Winedale
Historical Center between Houston and Austin, TX.  The peaceful environment
creates an ambiance noted for enhancing concentration on seminar issues and
enabling participants to relax and escape the stressful pressures of the
workplace.  Home cooking, large porches with rocking chairs and beautiful
sunsets over the small lake offset the intense pace of seminar activities.
A registration fee of $550 covers room and board and all materials
including a seminar manual.  Deadline for applications is
Sept. 20, 1999.  For details, information of an application contact:
