<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Rewarding because of the variety of new discoveries and the skills that are learned, along with the satisfying feeling of getting things done.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The process of securing the collection and making it accessible needs the mindset of a collections manager and that of a project manager. This<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Keeping Historic Houses & Museums Clean 4 week online course begins Feb<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">5 on MuseumStudy.com<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Cleaning and sterilizing the museum is in the news these days. Please join us for this timely class to look at methods to protect both the collection and your visitors.<o:p></o:p></p>
