April 29, 2025, 2:00 p.m.
Do you have documents, photographs, and other archival materials in your museum and no archivist to help? This webinar is for you! Continuing MAA’s program of archival training for museum professionals, we will be reviewing the basics of archival organization, including how to identify what is “archival”, how to review the collections (including those mysterious terms, “appraisal” and “processing”), and how to best store these materials, even on a small budget.

Webinar: Managing Light in Collections
July 9, 2025, 2:00 p.m.
Join conservator Claire Winfield to learn more about managing light in your collections. Light exposure is an inherent balance between preservation and accessibility for your collection, so it's important to take a nuanced and informed approach. We'll talk about different forms of light and radiation, the impacts they have on your collection materials, how to manage the exposure of your objects, and what to think about when choosing light sources or making changes to your systems.
