Historic Preservation for Museums
Is your museum in an historic building?
Are you responsible for historic buildings?
Are  you are a 
good steward of your old buildings?
Have you thought about how what's good for artifacts may not be good for  
an historic structure?
Did you know there are resources for historic  buildings?

**** 
If  you've  wondered about the above or your museum cares for old 
buildings,  you should attend the workshop this fall called:   Historic Preservation 
for Museums 

It will be  held on October  6, 2009, at  MPMA's annual museum conference 
in Cheyenne, WY 

This  workshop is a rare occurrence since historic preservation is NEVER  
oriented to museum folks.  Now it is!!!

An unprecedented wealth  of speakers will provide tips and facts about 
historic preservation JUST FOR  MUSEUMS.
Preservation specialists from Wyoming's  State Historic Preservation Office 
will describe historic preservation in plain  language and how museum 
professionals may use preservation programs.   Curators who work with historic 
buildings and collections will discuss  challenges and solutions they have 
experienced.

Workshop participants  will also get to tour the historic section of F.E. 
Warren Air Force Base, a  National Historic Landmark  which has tons of 
historic structures still in  use.    
Sponsors:  The State of Wyoming's  State Historic Preservation Office and 
F.E.  Warren  Air Force Base. 
ALSO 
Check  out the sessions that will be offered during the conference on 
historic  preservation topics 

a.  and b.  Protecting Historic Sites and Buildings:
This two-part  series will focus on how museums can protect historic sites 
and  buildings.  This is a good time to learn about the Section 106 Federal  
process from fabulous presenters not normally at museum conferences:    
State Historic Preservation Officers from Wyoming  and South  Dakota,  a former 
Tribal Historic Preservation Officer and the director of the National  
Trust for Historic Preservation's regional  office in Denver.   This impressive 
panel will provide you information on programs and concepts that  you never 
knew to ask about.

c. Historic House Museums:
Hear  about new ideas on how to salvage historic house museums that are 
struggling.  Learn how to engage your board on these new ways.
