But in recent years, institutions have been working to remove unnecessary barriers and engage in a meaningful way with their communities. In an ever-growing, global world, how will the management of institutional collections develop to support these changes? In this month's #ARCSchat, we'll discuss how the decolonization of the museum stands to impact current and future practices of collections stewardship. Join us on February 5 at 8 PM ET on Twitter: https://twitter.com/arcs4all ***Join Us!*** Association of Registrars and Collections Specialists, George Washington University Museum Studies, and Collection Care Network Invite you to an evening of networking and fun with colleagues from the DC metro area!
