<p><b>Keeping Historic Houses & Museums Clean</b> 4 week online course begins Jan 3 on MuseumStudy.com<br>
An unkempt museum or historic house is not appealing to the visitor nor is it healthy for the staff and collection. In this 4 week online professional development course instructor Gretchen Anderson will lay a foundation as to how to clean objects and facilities
safely. We will explore a variety of subjects, including health and safety for the staff and the objects, cleaning methods for a large variety of collection types common in art & cultural institutions and the importance of documenting what you do.
<br>
One former participant said, "This class was so helpful! This was such a great resource! For the first time since I started working here, my staff really seems to understand why I ask them to do what we do. It has really been the start of some great conversations
on site and we will 100% use the techniques learned." <br>
Cleaning and sterilizing the museum is in the news these days. Once we get back in to our museums and historic houses we will need to be extra careful. Please join us for this timely class to look at methods to protect both the collection and your visitors.

<br>
Emergencies: Preparedness to Resilience. This course will go beyond the basics of emergency planning and teach participants how to turn their plans into living documents that work in all emergency events. We will focus on practical skills to guide participants

Guidelines and tools for planning and managing interpretive exhibit projects.<br>
Join instructor John Veverka for this 4 week course designed for medium to small museums that may be doing most of their interpretive exhibits "in house". It provides a strategy to help them develop cost effective and "successful" interpretive exhibits (Provoke,

<p><b>Decolonizing Museums in Practice</b> course begins Jan 31 on MuseumStudy.com<br>
Articles about decolonizing museums are everywhere these days, but what does this actually mean in practice for museum professionals?<br>
Join Laura Phillips, Heather George, and Nathan Sentance for this 8 week online course where we will focus on looking critically at how museum professionals can activate decolonial ways of thinking in their own work environment, and in their day to day life.<br>
We will investigate how the words of contemporary Indigenous scholars and curators can be put into practice to promote practices that de-centre the subtle (and not so subtle) colonial ways of thinking that surround us every day.<br>
The text book can take a while to arrive so make sure to order it well in advance if you can not find it locally. This course fills early, registration is now open for the February/March course.<br>

<p><b>Managing Previously Unmanaged Collections</b> online course begins Jan 31 on MuseumStudy.com<br>
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.<br>
The process of securing the collection and making it accessible needs the mindset of a collections manager and that 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.<br>
