Dear Colleagues,

AAM is pleased to offer "Best Practices in Collections Stewardship:
Writing a Collections Management Policy" to be held January 12-13,
hosted by the California Academy of Sciences. Led by John Simmons,
Collections Manager, Natural History Museum & Biodiversity Research
Center and Director, Museum Studies Program at the University of Kansas,
and Elizabeth Merritt, Director, Museum Advancement & Excellence of the
American Association of Museums. Agenda and registration form are

Registration is limited, so I recommend you register before the closing

This seminar is based on the new AAM best-seller by Mr. Simmons. "Things
Great and Small: Collections Management Policies" is the first
comprehensive review of the topic, complete with sections from sample
policies. It is available from the AAM Bookstore at
