Keeping Historic Houses & Museums Clean 4 week online course begins

objects and facilities safely.

Identifying and winning grants from foundations and governments is a mix
of art and science. Join Instructor Sarah Sutton author of Is Your

designed for professionals either learning or reviewing their skills in
raising money through grants. Philanthropy keeps changing, and so does
grantmaking. Everyone on the team must contribute to raising money to do
good work; those with grant-preparation skills are very valuable to the
institution.

Planning and Presenting Live Interpretive Programs online course begins
Sept 4 on MuseumStudy.com
This course is especially designed for Museum/Heritage Site volunteers
and docents who have a passion for sharing their love of history, art,
nature or other topics with visitors to their particular site, and
provide their services on a volunteer basis.
Many of the docents we have had the pleasure of providing training
workshops for are retired teachers, historians, naturalists or others
with a desire to instill that love of their subjects with the visitors
they meet and guide and really like connecting with people of all ages.
Join instructor John Veverka for this 4 week online course, part of our
series of interpretation courses.
