Good afternoon, Another exciting and rewarding academic year has come to an end. Numerous community partnerships were successfully undertaken by students of the Applied Museum Studies (AMS) program, at Algonquin College in Ottawa, over the past year, including the treatment of various collection types, the development and implementation of preservation practices and the completion of conservation/preservation focused field placements. The AMS Conservation Department seeks partnerships with cultural/heritage organizations for the upcoming 2012-2013 academic year. We would appreciate it if you could circulate this call for partnerships with your members. REMEMBER……No location is too far and no project is too large or too small for us to consider partnering with you. If you have an idea for a project…give us a call or drop us an email. I look forward to exploring how the AMS Conservation Department and your institution can work together to ensure the conservation of our collective cultural past. If you are interested in exploring partnerships between your institution and the Applied Museum Studies program please do not hesitate to contact me directly. If you would like a pdf outlining our most recent program partnerships please send a message with your email address and I will forward one asap.
