Registration for the Collections Management and Practices Workshop in
Raleigh has been closed!!


Due to an overwhelming response, registration for the American
Association for State and Local History's Collections Management and
Practices spring workshop has been closed. This workshop will be held
March 15-17 at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh, North
Carolina.  If you missed registration for the spring, the summer
workshop will be held July 19-21 at the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne,
Vermont. Registration is $250 for AASLH members. Deadline for
registration is June 19, 2001. Register early as space is limited to
provide a quality learning experience!

A part of our new "Not Your Ordinary Workshop Series," participants in
the Collections Management and Practices workshop will learn about their
institution's responsibility toward its collections, the necessary
policies and procedures, and the best practices of collection
management.  During lively group discussions and hands-on activities
taught by Lynne Poirier-Wilson and Rick Kerschner, participants will
become familiar with current issues and trends to better understand how
collections fit within the context of history organizations.
Participants will explore other topics including the role of collections
in exhibition and interpretation, the basic steps of collections
management from acquisition to disposal, professional standards and
ethics, conservation on a shoe-string budget, as well as learning about
the multitude of resources available for collections preservation.

This workshop is targeted to new professionals and dedicated volunteers
with responsibility for collections at their institutions.
