"Curatorship and Community"
October 9, 2001 - January 25, 2002 through the Cultural Resource Management
Program at the University of Victoria
DESCRIPTION
As museums seek to be more engaged with the diverse communities they serve
and the cultures they study and interpret, curators are challenged to
redefine the ways in which they assemble and share collections, shape
exhibitions, communicate information and nurture reciprocal partnerships
with external groups. This new distance education course examines the
history, attitudes, knowledge and skills that underlie this shift in
curatorial role and practice, and develops your ability to:
* Define contemporary curatorial practice with reference to
both institutional mission and community process
* Determine new and appropriate ways to partner with
communities in the curatorial process
* Facilitate meaningful and lasting community relationships
and balance issues of preservation, access, perspective and voice
* Plan, develop and document collections and related oral
histories
* Undertake and share collections research
* Develop exhibitions and contribute to public programs

British Columbia Museum of Anthropology and Elizabeth Kidd, M.A. is Arts

'CONSERVING HISTORIC STRUCTURES'
October 15, 2001 - February 1, 2002 through the Cultural Resource Management
Program at the University of Victoria
DESCRIPTION
While historic structures range from modest to monumental and encompass a
remarkable variety of materials and uses, approaches to their conservation
are governed by core principals and determined by well-developed standards
of practice. Enhance your understanding of the complex characteristics of
heritage structures, systems and materials. This course provides frameworks
for planning appropriate conservation processes. Using a combination of
print and text materials, CD-ROM and Web resources, you interact with the
instructor and participants from across North America and beyond to develop
your ability to:
* Identify commonly encountered building materials and systems
* Analyze the nature and extent of deterioration in building
materials and systems and identify its causes
* Analyze the environmental factors which contribute to
deterioration
* Investigate and document the physical condition and history
of a structure and its materials
* Select conservation strategies for a range of materials,
based on the condition and intended use
* Plan the conservation process and develop an historic
structure report
To participate you must have completed senior level course work in heritage
conservation or have two year's practical experience in conservation or
preservation.
