AASLH runs a three-day workshop on collections care - I'm not sure if they are having it anywhere but Cooperstown, NY. There is a new collections care training program in the midwest. Contact Jean Svadlenak at the Heritage League of Greater Kansas City at (816-) 235-1333. It's several weeks long and $1800. There is also the Collections Care Training Program cosponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums and the University of Delaware. Call MAAM at (302) 731-1424. It's 3.5 weeks long and $1800 also. Watch for workshops being done by the regional museum associations - they tend to be one day and <$70. The Center for Museum Studies at the Smithsonian has a three day workshop on collections care also. Call (202) 357-3101. Apologies that I'm being easterncentric - I'd love to learn about what's available farther west. -- Rhonda R.
