Hi everyone I need some advice... I am currently working on my MA in historical archaeology, my BA is in History and Anthropology and I am also finsihing up a Certifcate through the local University in Heritage Resource Management. I have some volunteer experience, nothing long-term though, but it includes working in an education programme and working in the collectiosn section of the Provincial Museum. I am also going to be spending 4 h ours a week starting next week with the archaeology conservator doing various things. Anyway, there is a programme run through the museum assocation for a Certificate in Basic Museum Studies. It covers some of the stuff i've done for the Heritage Resource Management, such as collectiosn and conservation, but it does have a few other courses. it is a week-long, all day course. the cost is a bit high however, or at elast higher than i can really afford at the moment. What i want to know is, as museum professionals, do you think taking this course will help me in the job market or am I okay with just the Heritage Certificate? I am also signed up for a couple of seminars (travelling exhibit and costume mounting). I know this is a bit long-winded, but I wanted to outline the situation. Pelase feel free to write off-list if you wish. thanks a bunch adrienne ************************************* Adrienne Roberts Archaeology Unit Queen's College Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John's, NF Canada (709) 737-8869 (709) 726-3703 (home) [log in to unmask] ************************************* ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ museum-l.html.
