The Museums of Old York is seeking interested and qualified students for our
2009 Elizabeth Perkins Fellowship Program. This program, now in its
twenty-first year, was founded to provide students interested in
establishing museum and cultural academic careers with the opportunity to
conduct meaningful research and present it in a public forum. In addition,
Fellows serve as educational interpreters for Old York's eight historic
buildings. 

In the past the most successful Fellows have been those who are
self-starters, highly motivated, and who seek to gain professional
experience and growth during an intense and rewarding period of residency. 

The Fellowship is open to graduate and upper level undergraduate students
pursuing museum, preservation, or academic careers. Selection is very
competitive, with four Fellowships being awarded each year. Academic credit
may be arranged through the applicant's school.

Elizabeth Perkins Fellows arrive for introductory training on Tuesday, May
26, 2007. The Fellowship Symposium takes place on Monday, August 17, 2009. 

For information and an application please check out our website at

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] DIY Exhibit Blog

Exhibit: F blog attempts to document from start to finish the process of
creating, building and installing an exhibit in a smaller museum. Besides
the curation and interpretation, my partner and I are undertaking as many of
the physical tasks  as we can as long as it keeps the costs down including:
building mounts, display furniture, panels, and video interactives.

The exhibit is entitled Cold War Berlin: Life at the Breaking Point and is
scheduled to open at the Diefenbunker Museum in Ottawa, Canada, in May of
2009. This exhibit, at its heart, is a student project, however, it has
developped into a 2 year exhibit with the possibility of travelling. 

The blog is essentially a diary of our progress and once the exhibit opens
will hopefully have adequately captured the entire process.

Any professional feedback, advice, comments, suggestions, criticism or
insights would be most welcome.
