Christine,
You might want to look into the programs offered by the Williamsburg
Institute. You can get a listing by starting at the Colonial Williamsburg
home page: www.history.org and searching for "Williamsburg Institute
Programs". As a graduate student years ago I attended the Antiques Forum,
and it was fabulous. A lot of the seminars scheduled for next year sound
great. Good luck! - Anne Douglas.
