Vermont Museum and Gallery Alliance

The Vermont Museum & Gallery Alliance will select eight museums, historical societies, and galleries throughout Vermont to participate in an intensive collections care management program. The participating institutions will benefit from a series of workshops, followed by a self-assessment of specific needs in their own facilities. A graduate-level intern and the Project Director will then work with each organization on site-specific projects. Information and resources will be shared through an e-mail group and results of the projects will be shared more broadly through conference presentations. The three-year project will provide hands-on training and job skills for museum professionals and result in eight small institutional models in collections care, exhibition, and documentation techniques.
