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_

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_

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.
