Description

The Western Museums Association’s 2016 Annual Meeting, in partnership with the Museum Association of Arizona (MAA), offers invaluable educational and networking opportunities for Registrars. As we all know, the registrar and collections fields are continuously progressing. Collections care standards evolve, new database management and registration technologies are emerging, and the way people access an institution’s information changes. With this idea of the future in mind, the Western Museum Association’s (WMA) 2016 Annual Meeting Program Committee approved many collections- and registration-themed presentations within the 43 overall sessions.

Join your Western museum colleagues as we learn and grow both personally and professionally. 

Registrars and Collections Management professions will find the following programming of particular interest:

Pre-Conference Workshops

•    Materials for Storage and Soft Packing

Affinity Luncheon

•    Registrar’s Committee Western Region Luncheon
