Dear All:

As the new American Association of Museums Curator's Committee Mid-Atlantic representative, I am one of two individuals responsible for collecting information regarding Mid-Atlantic curatorial museum news for CurCom Update.  You can learn more about CurCom here <http://www.curcom.org/> and its newsletter here: 
<http://www.curcom.org/newsletter.php>

The summer newsletter will be written within the coming weeks.  If you are working on a curatorial/collections related project(s) within the Mid-Atlantic region (NY, PA, NJ, DE, MD, and Washington, D.C.) that you would like to share with the curatorial community, please email me a brief description of that project by Monday, June, 22, 2009. 

News may cover topics such as collections development, (re)installations of collections, special and permanent exhibitions, new research/publications, implementation of new interpretative methods, workshops and conferences, and more. 
 
Please forward this to your colleagues.  Also, feel free to email news as you have some to share prior to the publication of the fall newsletter.  If you are a curator from another region, contact your regional representative listed here:  http://www.curcom.org/contact.php

Once I receive all the news for the summer newsletter, I will compile a report and send it to the newsletter editor who will select what will go into the newsletter.  Many of the newsletters feature substantive articles about these projects, and we can discuss how I may be able to facilitate the submission of an article-length publication of your curatorial news for future issues.

Let me know if you have any questions about AAM's Curators' Committee or its newsletter.  I am looking forward to hearing from you about curatorial research and projects from the Mid-Atlantic region.

Sincerely,
Nicole Belolan
