Mayor Shirley Franklin with Anne-Imelda Radice, Director of the Institute of
Museum and Library Services.
Three hundred museum, library, and archive professionals from 41 states and
the District of Columbia gathered in Atlanta on January 31 and February 1
for "Preserving America's Diverse Heritage," sponsored by the Institute of
Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in partnership with Heritage Preservation.
This was the first of four meetings around the country being held to raise
awareness about the nation's valuable and endangered collections. IMLS
launched the forums as part of the national initiative _Connecting to Collections:
A Call to Action_
(http://heritage.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=E2Uj3AAuAAMAAAKBAAHPgA) .

Collaboration in the Digital Age Forum to be Held June 24-25 in Denver
(http://heritage.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=E2Uj3AAuAAT-----AAHPgA)
Americans are increasingly using the Internet to connect to museum and
library resources. Digitizing special library and museum collections has many
advantages—better collection management, less wear and tear on objects, and
greater public access, to name a few. But challenges include cost,
prioritization, and preserving digital collections. Where to begin?
To answer some of these questions, the Institute of Museum and Library
Services (IMLS) is sponsoring the forum “Collaboration in the Digital Age” June
24 and 25 in Denver.
This program—organized in cooperation with Heritage Preservation, the
Colorado Historical Society, the Denver Public Library, and the Denver Art Museum—
is part of _Connecting to Collections: A Call to Action_
(http://heritage.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=E2Uj3AAuAAQAAAONAAHPgA) , an IMLS initiative to save
endangered collections in the nation’s museums and libraries.
The forum is open and free of charge to staff and board members of museums,
libraries, and archives, as well as to conservation professionals,
representatives of government, funders, and the media. It will be held at the three
sponsoring institutions, all located just south of Civic Center Park in
downtown Denver.
_Advance online registration_
(http://heritage.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=E2Uj3AAuAAQAAAYVAAHPgA) is required by May 23, 2008. There will be no on-site
registration. To learn more about the forum, click _here_

(http://heritage.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=E2Uj3AAuAAgAAACzAAHPgA) , a national effort to

Chicago Mural Nominated for Assessment
(http://heritage.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=E2Uj3AAuAAH-----AAHPgA)
Under City Stone by Caryl Yasko was recently nominated to Rescue Public
Murals for assessment. The mural spans 200 feet of an underpass below the METRA
commuter rail tracks at 55th Street and Lake Park Avenue on Chicago’s South
Side. The viaduct will be renovated as part of transportation improvements,
which provides an opportunity to bring much needed attention to this
neighborhood treasure. _More....

Connecting to Collections Leads to Fund-Raising Success
_Connecting to Collections: The National Summit_
(http://heritage.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=E2Uj3AAuAAoAAAA0AAHPgA) , held in June 2007, is bearing
fund-raising fruit for participants.
Robbin Zella, Director of the Housatonic Museum of Art, credits her
participation in the Summit and the tour of the Lunder Conservation Center with
enabling her to initiate a fundraising campaign. Through an “Adopt a Painting”
program, her museum has successfully raised $50,000 to care for their
artwork. They will be retrofitting their storage with a new HVAC system for
environmental control and will be creating new conservation/preservation didactics
in an exhibition space.
