Dear All:

Do your collections need to be catalogued? Do you want to train an intern
or volunteer to get started on that neglected inventorying project? Is your
small museum or historic site considering using museum software such as
PastPerfect?

If you answered “yes” to any one of these questions, then this Sustaining
Places workshop is for you! Visit our web site to register now, or read

Taming Your Treasures: Collections Management for Beginners Workshop
is a hands-on, two-session workshop that will teach you best practices in
handling, describing, photographing, labeling, and keeping track of your
museum’s treasures. After you complete this workshop, you will walk away
with tools for gaining intellectual control over your collection so that
you and your visitors will be able to work with and learn from your
museum’s treasures today and in the future.

The Taming Your Treasures workshop will emphasize three-dimensional
collections and is designed for beginners. It is suitable for (but not
limited to):

* Interns or non-collections staff or volunteers who have never catalogued,
inventoried, or labeled collections objects but will in the future
* Board members or non-collection staff or volunteers who have never
catalogued, inventoried, or labeled collections objects but want to learn
more about best practices in collections management
* Professional or volunteer staff who assess and plan for future
cataloguing and inventorying projects
* Professional or volunteer staff considering implementing software such as
PastPerfect in the near future to digitize their collections records
