Hello members of the MCN listserv, We are in the process of evaluating the museum training program here at Harvard Art Museums. We have a long history of training future museum professionals. Historically we've focused on training future scholars/curators, conservators, and museum directors mainly through multiyear fellowships and post-docs. During the past few years it's grown to include other roles but only marginally. We're trying to figure out the future of our program and how expansive (or not) it should be. I'm most interested in how we train future museum technologists so I'm hoping to talk to those at institutions with training programs that include a focus on digital technology.
As a reference point we have a technology fellowship (generically called Technology Fellow) as part of our training program. We've had it for six years. A fellow is with us full time for 1-2 years. They work specifically on the design, development, and implementation of projects in our Lightbox Gallery<https://www.harvardartmuseums.org/article/in-focus-lightbox-gallery> in close collaboration with staff in the Division of Academic and Public Programs. Do you have a training program that weaves in technology? If so I'd like to talk with you. Thanks, Jeff Steward Director of Digital Infrastructure and Emerging Technology 617-495-0785 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Harvard Art Museums 32 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 www.harvardartmuseums.org<http://www.harvardartmuseums.org/> Code with us on GitHub<https://github.com/harvardartmuseums> | Watch us on Vimeo<https://vimeo.com/harvardartmuseums> | Follow us on Twitter<http://www.twitter.com/harvartmuseums> _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: [email protected] To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
