Planning and Presenting Live Interpretive Programs online course begins

This course is especially designed for Museum/Heritage Site volunteers

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

Understanding Photographic & Graphic Arts Materials course begins July
10 on MuseumStudy.com
Join photographic materials conservator Kim DuBois for Understanding
Photographic & Graphic Arts Materials. This course introduces the
various non-paper supports that contain both positive and negative
images from the dawn of photography through the 20th C. The need for a
stable support led to photographs being made on metal, glass, and
cellulose-based & polyester film. Each was developed for a specific type
of photography process, or for the development of new materials at hand.
The most commonly recognized and long-lived supports are the film-based
image processes. All of these items require different approaches and
materials for their proper care and storage.
Using the evolution of photography and printing media timelines, the
participants learn the characteristics & appearance to help identify the
photographic products. Each process is introduced with its particular
ageing process, inherent vice in materials, and deterioration
appearances to guide the decision-making process of preservation care &
access or display.
