Virginia Association of Museums

The Virginia Association of Museums, along with the Library of Virginia, the Mid-Atlantic Archives Conference, the Virginia Conservation Association, and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, will undertake an assessment exercise for small museums, present a two-day intensive training experience in collections care for staff of small organizations, extend local emergency support groups throughout Virginia, develop easy disaster plan templates for museums of different sizes and capabilities to be used in a series of workshops, and develop a comprehensive strategy to raise public awareness with internal and external audiences of the importance of collections care issues.
