Museum Study has two courses coming up in September and another in our series of free webinars.
Managing Museum Volunteers course begins Sept 4 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.

Risk assessment and management approaches to preventive conservation were first suggested almost 35 years ago. Since then, numerous approaches have been developed, applied, and published. Three of the better known approaches include Quiskscan, ABC, and the Cultural Property Risk Analysis Model (CPRAM). People unfamiliar with these may think that they are interchangeable, and each could have value in any given context. That is not true. Each of these approaches was developed within a specific context and for certain purposes.
This presentation briefly describes each of these three approaches, and their strengths and limitations. Armed with this understanding, institutions and collection care professionals can decide which approach(es) they believe will be most beneficial for their situation.
Make sure you choose an approach that will be fit for your purpose.
