Managing Previously Unmanaged Collections online course begins Feb 3 on MuseumStudy.com Join instructor Angela Kipp for the 4 week online course Managing Previously Unmanaged Collections. Working with a previously unmanaged collection is one of the most challenging and rewarding projects in the career of a museum professional. Challenging because of the variety of issues like leaking roofs, missing documentation and the question as to whether there is actually a floor underneath those piles of objects.

Rewarding because of the variety of new discoveries and the skills that are learned, along with the satisfying feeling of getting things done.

The process of securing the collection and making it accessible needs the mindset of a collections manager as well as the one of a project manager. This 4 week course helps you to get a grip on your unmanaged collection by developing a plan to tackle it, defining achievable goals by creating logical exits and finding ways to keep the project going even if you are limited in time, staff and money.

Grants for Museums and Historic Sites course begins Feb 3 on MuseumStudy.com Identifying and winning grants from foundations and governments is a mix of art and science. Join Instructor Sarah Sutton author of Is Your Museum Grant-Ready? for this 4 week long online course, which is designed for professionals either learning or reviewing their skills in raising money through grants. Philanthropy keeps changing, and so does grantmaking. Everyone on the team must contribute to raising money to do good work; those with grant-preparation skills are very valuable to the institution.
