I am working with the AAM Diversity Coalition members on finalizing some session proposals for our annual meeting "Museums 2000: Reflection, Vision & Change" scheduled May 14-18, 2000 in Baltimore MD. They are interested in locating panelists for the following sessions: Museums of Tolerance: Using Collections for Diversity Training This is a session which hopes to confront recent and recurrent hate crimes through exhibition development. Any small museums doing this type of programming would be welcome! Handle with Care: Sacred Objects and Registrarial Methods What are the most logical patterns of registration that relates sacred objects from all types of faith while maintaining the individual integrity of each? How do these considerations apply to the collections in an Islamic museum? To those of Native American museums? African art? Asian? how do all of these differ from the registrarial issues of a Euro-American art museum? A natural history museum? Please respond to me and I will forward your thoughts/suggestions. You help is appreciated and welcome. Thank you, John T.
