[MCN-L] Announcing the 2018-2019 VRAF Regional Workshops!

2018-09-19 Thread Betha Whitlow 
The Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF) is pleased to announce
the host sites for the 2018-2019 VRAF Regional Workshop Program. Now in its
fourth year, and thanks to the continued and generous support from the
Samuel H. Kress Foundation, this program is allowing the VRAF to realize
its mission to promote scholarship, research, education, and outreach in
the fields of visual resources and image management.

The 2018-2019 workshops are:

*Documenting Cultural Heritage: Strategies and Spaces for Digital Capture* at
the George Eastman Museum, Rochester, NY, to be held on November 30, 2018

*Something Mappy This Way Comes: An Introduction to Digital Mapping
Technologies* at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR, to be held
on January 25, 2019.

*Exhibit, Instruct, Promote, Collaborate: An Introduction to Omeka for
Digital Scholarship* at The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, to be held
on March 1, 2019.

*Metadata and Management of Cultural Heritage Digital Media: From
Fundamentals to Future Trends* at The Smithsonian’s Freer|Sackler,
Washington, D.C., to be held on April 26, 2019.

With the VRAF Regional Workshop Program’s funding, host institutions will
be able to offer a workshop without the burden of developing it from
within, and provide valuable programming not only to their local
constituents, but to their broader region. For a reasonable registration
fee, the workshops provide an immersive experience on a single topic,
framed in a manner that is relevant to image management professionals,
users of cultural heritage information, and the larger information
community. The call for host sites for the 2019-2020 VRAF Regional Workshop
Program will be announced in summer 2019.
