Attention All Collections Personnel!

By Allyson Lazar

Calling all registrars, collections managers, curators of collections and anyone who works with museum collections in the Western Region: the official Registrars Committee-Western Region website is now live!

Over the next few weeks, the RC-WR website manager will be adding pages and making them active, but the site is up and already has information about upcoming workshops, including one on insurance in the SoCal area and one on soft packing in Arizona.

AAM Philadelphia and amazing opening session

I absolutely loved the opening session today from the wonderful and witty discussion of Einstein and creativity with Walter Isaacson, to the great "Town Hall" that Ford Bell conducted, to the thrilling singing of the gospel choir Soul Searchers that started things off. I am dashing off to the Contemporary Art Museum for an evening event that should be fun and daring...Radical Art. Philly is pretty amazing. Thanks to the host committee for making it all happen.
