How to Develop a Code of Ethics for Your Museum begins Feb 5 on

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.

Managing Previously Unmanaged Collections online course begins Feb 5 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.

Creating Exhibitions Through the Collective course begins Feb 5 on
MuseumStudy.com
Want to create an exhibit that utilizes your community?
If so, Creating Exhibitions through the Collective is for you. This
class will be focused on community co-curation. We will investigate how
community involvement during all stages of the exhibit development
process can lead to more interpretation that is credible, community
empowerment, and advocacy. Tips and strategies will be provided to build
sustainable frameworks for this type of engagement.
Join Instructor Saul Sopoci Drake for this 4 week online professional
development course.
