[MCN-L] Politics, Pests and Podcasts ARCS Update Vol 3 | Update 23

[ARCS]

**#ARCSChat Tonight!**
When governmental budgetary constraints prohibited proper maintenance of
the facilities in Brazil's national museum in Rio de Janeiro, politics
collided with collections management in a very real way to disastrous
effect. In tonight’s #ARCSchat, we'll discuss this precarious intersection,
identify the problems, and discuss ways to manage our situations so that
more disasters can be avoided. Join us at 8 PM ET on Twitter-

**Registration Extended Until Nov. 7th for Integrated Pest Management for
Cultural Institutions**
Integrated Pest Management Plans are an integral, and oftentimes
overlooked, core collection
policy. The Association of Registrars and Collections Specialists (ARCS)
and the Conservation
Center for Art & Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) are pleased to offer a day and
a half conference of presentations and practical exercises, where speakers
will discuss the elements of an integrated pest management plan, present
tools for identifying common pests and the best monitoring strategies,
introduce types of treatments appropriate for collections objects, and
summarize common hazards staff may come in contact with when dealing with
pests in their collection.

Michael C. Carlos Museum
Atlanta, GA

Registration Fees:

[MCN-L] Museum training programs study

[Steward, Jeff s.]

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 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
