Grab your favorite snack-size candy or beverage of choice and find out as your #ARCSchat hosts return on Tuesday, October 1 at 8pm EST on YouTube Live to discuss the spooky and scary topic of Budgeting on a Shoestring! We’ll cover relevant resources and tips when advocating for collection-based projects, discuss the development and creative management of department budgets, as well as the various ways colleagues can make a little bit of budget go a long way. We'll crowdsource listener questions in advance on social media using #ARCSchat or on the ARCS forum that we'll address live. As always, you will be able to respond live during the event as well. See you on October 1.

Through interpretation and scholarship, the goal of the BRH is to educate the public concerning the role played by Betsy Ross in American history. The BRH is one of the most visited historic sites in the nation it is among the few that interpret the life of a middle class, 18th century tradeswoman. The Betsy Ross House needs assistance with documenting and rehousing a large number of textiles, mostly flags. The condition of these flags has not been documented and the current non-archival artifact tags that are currently on them need to be replaced with archival quality ones. Elfreth’s Alley-http://www.elfrethsalley.org/ Elfreth’s Alley is our nation’s oldest residential street. Nestled between Second Street and the Delaware River, thirty-two Federal and Georgian residences stand as reminders of the early days of Philadelphia. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. The Elfreth’s Alley Association operates a small museum with a staff of one. Volunteers will help with inventory, cataloging, and rehousing of collection objects. Founders Hall, Girard College- https://www.girardcollege.edu/about-us/school-history-and-historical-collections/founders-hall Founder’s Hall is a museum operating within Girard College, a school for academically capable, economically disadvantaged students in grades 1-12. The school was established through a bequest by Stephen Girard, a self-made multi-millionaire merchant and banker who died in 1831 as one of the wealthiest Americans of all time. Since opening in 1848, the school has provided entirely free residential education for more than 22,000 children. The museum preserves and interprets historical collections associated with Stephen Girard and Girard College, including the National Historic Landmark building of Founder's Hall itself. Volunteer will help rehouse their collection of historic photographs, including glass plate negatives and prints. ***Important Dates*** October 1, 2019 8 PM ET #ARCSchat on YouTube Live! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbWS9tXKHo0fAVrtOHjktJg November 7 – 9, 2019. #ARCSConf 2019 in Philadelphia, PA.- https://www.arcsinfo.org/programs/2019-conference _______________________________________________ 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]/
