Workshop: Save Your Collection, Share Your Story, Sustain Your Mission:
A Primer for Small Museums and Historical Societies
The New England Museum Association is pleased to be able to offer a two-part Saturday workshop for small museums and historical societies in Rhode Island. Topics essential to all organizations will be addressed including: mission and governance, collections care and preservation, fundraising, education, and exhibitions.
This is a great opportunity for even the smallest historical site or museum to engage in affordable, high-quality professional development. For organizations run by volunteers or with a small number of paid staff, this program will cover the basics and help you build a stronger organization for the future.

Kirsten Hammerstrom, Deputy Director for Collections, Rhode Island Historical Society
C. Morgan Grefe, Ph.D., Director, Newell D. Goff Center for Education and Public Programs, Rhode Island Historical Society
