MS014: Education Collections
Instructor: Karin Hostetter
Dates: Oct 21 to Sep 25, 2013
Location: online at www.museumclasses.org
Description:
What do you do with collection objects that no longer belong in the
scientific collection but are too good to throw out or with the
donations that just don’t quite “fit”? Use them in education
collections. Their value as educational objects for the public is
immeasurable.
Logistics:
Participants in Education Collections will read literature and
participate in two one-hour chats to discuss Education Collections. Each
student should read course materials and prepare questions or comments
to share with the other students in the chat. This is a mini-course and
takes no more than 10 hours of a student's time. This is an opportunity
to brain-storm with colleagues about what works and what doesn't work.
