2009 Joint Meeting with AMM

Sept. 27 - 30, 2009

MAM and AMM will hold a joint meeting in St. Paul in 2009. Put it on your calendar!

Mighty Rescue Crew

In conjunction with the 2009 AMM /MAM Annual Conference in St. Paul, the Midwest Registrars Committee is offering institutions in the Twin Cities area an opportunity to host registrars, collections managers, conservators, curators and others in a day-long on-site work project. Duties for visiting professionals can include anything from cataloging and data entry to re-housing, object labeling, photography, or storage reorganization.

Applicants must be voting members of the MRC ($10.00 yearly fee). Selections will be based on materials submitted to the Mighty Rescue Crew Committee. The recipient will be expected to organize and supervise work, provide necessary supplies and workspace, and write an article for the MRC Courier about the experience. Lunch will be provided by the MRC.

2008 Annual Meeting

Monday, May 19
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

"Mix & Match: Minnesota Museums Collaborate"
Continuing Education and Conference Center
University of Minnesota, St. Paul Campus

The 2008 Minnesota Association of Museums Annual Meeting highlighted collaboration in Minnesota museums. Minnesota museums often create programs and exhibits together with individuals and groups from outside their institutions. Collaborators may be visual artists, scientists, documentary film makers, performing artists, writers, craftspeople, librarians and social scientists, not to mention other museums. Organizations small and large leverage both audiences and creative energy with cross-disciplinary activity. The result is often a boost to the museum’s mission, but there can also be challenges to choosing partners and negotiating relationships.
