About the Workshops




Fundraising for Preservation and Conservation


This workshop focuses on the special needs of your special collections.  In 
order to provide optimum care for your collections, should you invest in 
planning? In stabilizing the environment? In cataloging and describing? In 
digitization? Or in conservation treatment? Often, the honest answer is 
"all of the above," but since this broad response can lead to paralysis, it 
is important to identify a starting place. One key to moving ahead is the 
development of a funding strategy for preservation.
On the federal level, funding sources are available to move your cultural 
organization ahead with preservation initiatives. These federal grants can 
leverage other donations, bringing more money and attention to your 
collections while ensuring that the treasures in your special collections 
will be available for the appreciation of future generations.
Through thoughtful planning and effective grant writing, your organization 
can be competitive in applying for high-profile federal grants. This 
workshop will examine the planning process that reviewers want to see in 
place and the components that make a grant request compelling. Examples 
will be drawn from success stories at museums, libraries, and archives.



Telling the Story: Promoting Cultural Collections


This workshop will focus on strategies for museum, archives, and library 
professionals to effectively use marketing and public relations to tell the 
stories of their collections throughout the year, and not just during 
special exhibitions. It will present the basic components of a public 
relations program, examine strategies that have worked for other 
institutions, and tackle some challenging situations drawn from the 
audience.  In addition, a panel of museum professionals will be on hand to 
share their personal success stories.

Speakers


Lee Price, Director of Development at the Conservation Center for Art and 
Historic Artifacts, has worked as a fundraising and marketing consultant 
for many regional and national cultural institutions.  Over the past 18 
years, he has helped to raise over $30 million in federal, state, and 
private funding for nonprofit organizations.  He has written successful 
grant requests for preservation funding from the Institute for Museum and 
Library Services, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National 
Endowment for the Arts, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, 
and Save America's Treasures.

Keltie Hawkins, Marketing and Communications Manager at the Conservation 
Center for Art and Historic Artifacts, has served as a key player in 
creating a newsletter for the Center, redesigning the Center's website, 
garnering increased press coverage, and producing a video in collaboration 
with WHYY, Philadelphia's local public television station, on the 
conservation treatment of John James Audubon's Birds of America.  Before 
coming to the Center, she worked as a Marketing Assistant and as a Sales 
and Exhibits Coordinator at the Brookings Institution, as Marketing 
Associate at Counterpoint Press (Washington, DC), and as an Editor for 
Running Press in Philadelphia.
