Keeping Historic Houses & Museums Clean 4 week online course begins July

1 on MuseumStudy.com

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.

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."

Introduction to Heritage Interpretation online course begins July 1 on MuseumStudy.com Interpretation is the most powerful communication process any historic or heritage site has available to communicate its message(s) to visitors!

It is in the interpretation of the sites story to visitors where the "heritage" of the site is brought to light. Interpretation makes the site come to life for the visitors, giving the site relevance and importance. It reveals to visitors, in powerful and memorable ways, the differences between "old" and historic.

Join instructor John Veverka for the course Introduction to Heritage Interpretation. The 4 week online course is an entry level interpretation course, the first in our series of interpretation courses. We will review the current state-of-the-art in interpretive philosophy, techniques and services, based on "outcome based"

interpretation.
