[Libs-Or] Fwd: [IS-NET] Art Museum Libraries Symposium

[Joel Parham]

FYI...

ART MUSEUM LIBRARIES SYMPOSIUM
Join us September 23 & 24!
Libraries,
archives and museums all face similar challenges. Libraries and archives
affiliated with art museums have a second layer of concerns: how best to
relate
to their parent institution. Peabody
Essex Museum's (PEM's) Phillips Library will host a symposium to explore the
issues
associated with this very question.
Among the presenters are
leaders from top institutions, including PEM, Harvard Art Museum, the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, Minneapolis Institute
of
Arts, Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Morgan Library and Museum, San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art, Minnesota Historical Society, the National Gallery of
Art, and the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of the
Smithsonian
Institution.
Full scholarships and generous discounts are available for staff in museums
with
 budgets under $5 million,  for junior staff in museums with budgets over $5
million
and for pre-professional graduate students.  Staff in museums holding art
works
from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation are eligible for full scholarships plus
expenses.
 The scholarships and discounts are available to qualifying candidates on a
first
come, first serve basis.
The Phillips Library is one of New
England's most important and historic research libraries. It is a major
resource for residents and scholars with interests in genealogy, maritime
history and New England history, or documents relating to the museum's vast
and
diverse collection. The library also holds the nation's largest collection
of
ship logs and journals as well as original court documents from the 1692
Salem
witchcraft trials.
Reservations for the symposium can be made
online or by mail. Click on the link below to download a brochure.

"For objects to be preserved, they must engage the user in some way, they
must
have a constituency among the public that cares about their survival"
(Grattan
and Moses 2006).
