based organization through the Florida Connecting to Collections program. We
welcome staff of Florida museums, archives, zoos, library special
collections, and archaeology collections. Participate in discussion- and
webinar-based workshops in your region of Florida. We will pair mentors with
mentees to help guide the learning process, and connect people through our
online learning community.
