Hands-On, What's New, What's Next:

Exploring Our Collections

Monday June 6, 2016
Four Points Sheraton, 275 Research Highway, Meriden, CT
9-4:30

Our collections are central to the existence of our organizations; they shape mission and vision, and define our values. They share stories and connect the past to the present in our communities, and they also demand our day-to-day attentions and resources. Join the Connecticut League of History Organization on June 6, 2016 for a how-to, why and what we endeavor to “collect, preserve and interpret” in the 21st century. Share basic practices with colleagues as you converse about your experiences – inspirations to tribulations! Learn hands-on skills and take your first (or next) steps to resolving collections accessibility for your organization. Examine the needs of today in order to collect, preserve and interpret your collections for the future.
