ABOUT The Annual CLHO conference attracts more than 150 museum professionals, board members and volunteers representing the over 400 history museums, historical societies, historic sites, historic house museums, libraries and archives in Connecticut. This full-day conference offers an Exhibitor and Vendor Hall, the Award of Merit Luncheon and Awards presentation, and opportunities for net-working with people just like you THEME Our collections are central to our organization’s existences; 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. CALL FOR PROPOSALS Proposals are due REGISTRATION Registration is now closed. Conference registration includes a continental breakfast, served lunch, and afternoon coffee. FIRST TIME ATTENDEES It can be daunting to walk into a large conference on your own! If you or your organization is new to the CLHO, please let us know when you register, or even when you sign in. We're happy to assign you a "buddy" who will make sure that you've met new colleagues and be there to answer any questions. AFTER CONFERENCE ACTIVITY Drinking Around Museums, Hartford, will host an after-conference event at the conference center's pub and restaurant, Silver City Sports Bar & Grille. This is a great time to relax, and hang out with colleagues and skip the rush hour traffic. LOCATION This year's conference will return to the Four Points by Sheraton hotel, located at 275 Research Parkway in Meriden, CT. There is ample parking located on the premises.
