Does your institution have a Code of Ethics? It Should!
Join instructor Sally Yerkovich January 3 for the 4 week online course
How to Develop a Code of Ethics for Your Museum. The American Alliance
of Museums (AAM) includes a code of ethics as one of the five core
documents that it declares "fundamental for basic professional museum
operations." AAM states that these documents "embody core museum values
and practices." By examining codes of ethics and exploring the
principles that they include, this course is a preparation for creating
your institution's code.

Grants for Museums and Historic Sites course begins Feb 6 on

Identifying and winning grants from foundations and governments is a mix
of art and science. Join Instructor Sarah Sutton author of Is Your
Museum Grant-Ready? for this 4 week long online course, which is
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.

Managing Previously Unmanaged Collections 4 week online course begins
Feb 6 on MuseumStudy.com
Join instructor Angela Kipp for the 4 week online course Managing
Previously Unmanaged Collections. Working with a previously unmanaged
collection is one of the most challenging and rewarding projects in the
career of a museum professional. Challenging because of the variety of
issues like leaking roofs, missing documentation and the question as to
whether there is actually a floor underneath those piles of objects.
Rewarding because of the variety of new discoveries and the skills that
are learned, along with the satisfying feeling of getting things done.
The process of securing the collection and making it accessible needs
the mindset of a collections manager as well as the one of a project
manager. This 4 week course helps you to get a grip on your unmanaged
collection by developing a plan to tackle it, defining achievable goals
by creating logical exits and finding ways to keep the project going
even if you are limited in time, staff and money.

Building A Stronger Organization Through Advocacy online course begins
Feb 6 on MuseumStudy.com
Advocacy involves communicating with broad constituencies, including
elected officials, about what your museum does and why it is important.
Too often museums relegate advocacy to the back burner because they
don’t see the value in devoting time to advocacy. Advocacy needs to be
an ongoing responsibility of everyone who cares about museums – staff,
board members, volunteers, constituents, and the many people who value
museums. Making advocacy a part of ongoing operations can help build a
stronger institution. Advocacy should be embraced as a best practice of
museums.
This course is intended for anyone interested in building support for
your organization and being prepared in case of a proposed policy or
action that could harm your institution. The course will help to dispel
the myth that non-profits can’t engage in advocacy. Participants will
learn how to become more comfortable with advocacy and ways to
incorporate advocacy into ongoing operations.
