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.
