Living in Portland, where the sun started shining through the rain only a few days ago, it seems defective to be already looking forward to October. Looking forward I am though, to the Western Museums Association Annual Meeting in Palm Springs.
As museum people, we frequently look at the same situations and see very different things. This holds true for educators, students,...

The funding model still has its foundation in federal and provincial support and, as we all know, there’s not a lot of money for culture and heritage in the pot right now.
