[Nhcoll-l] Online professional development courses from Museum Study in September 2025

[Brad Bredehoft]

We have three professional development opportunities in September 
including Moving Museum Collections, Managing Museum Volunteers, and the 
second level of Rob Waller's Risk Assessment workshops dealing with type 
2 and type 3 risk and the Cultural Property Risk Analysis Model. For 
more information about any of these opportunities click on the link to 
the appropriate course page.

Moving Museum Collections online course begins September 8 on 
MuseumStudy.com
Join us for our 4 week online professional development course Moving 
Museum Collections with Instructor Lori Benson. Whether you are about to 
embark on a collection move or are years out from a move Lori's 
experience will help you prepare. As a veteran of three major museum 
moves she has valuable knowledge that can benefit you in your upcoming 
project.
This course provides an overview of how to plan and manage a move to 
avoid the many pitfalls. Lori will help you define the scope of your 
project, develop a work plan and schedule, prepare a communication 
scheme, define proposals for vendors, choose equipment, estimate costs, 
identify hazards, organize staffing and establish packing techniques and 
standards. Whether you are moving across the hall or across town, Moving 
Museum Collections will provide a guide for a successful move.

Managing Museum Volunteers course begins September 8 on MuseumStudy.com
The Managing Museum Volunteers course will focus on strategies for 
running a successful volunteer program that adapts to the needs of the 
museum. Appropriate for professionals starting a new volunteer program 
or wanting to reinvigorate an existing one, this course will include 
topics such as: assessing the museum’s needs for volunteers; managing 
the recruitment, selection, onboarding, training, and evaluating of 
volunteers; and troubleshooting problems with volunteers. We will also 
consider some of the ways that volunteerism in the US is changing 
overall and how those changes might affect museums.
Join Instructor Tara Young for this 4 week online professional 
development course.

Assessing Risk to Cultural Property 2 online course begins September 8 
on MuseumStudy.com
This course builds on the foundation instructor Robert Waller 
established in Assessing Risk to Cultural Property 1. We will explore 
challenges to quantifying risks and strategies for estimating rates of, 
and expected impacts of, sporadic incidents (type 2 risks) employing 
examples based on participant situations. Means of determining or 
estimating rates of progressive changes (type 3 risks) are provided and 
practiced. Finally, methods for presenting comprehensive, (semi-) 
quantitative risk profiles are demonstrated and employed by participants.
Prerequisite: Assessing Risk to Cultural Property 1 or a Protect 
Heritage workshop in the last 5 years.
