MAM 2012 Preliminary Conference Program

 

The annual Maine Archives and Museums conference brings together Maine’s collecting institutions to exchange ideas, tackle challenges, and broaden skills. Whether you are a seasoned museum professional, volunteer, archivist, or the only staff member of a small historical society, the MAM 2012 conference program has something for everyone. The conference will not only expand your skills and inspire you as you move forward toward future goals, it is also the perfect place to network and join a generous community willing to help you get to that next step.

  • Evening reception (We’ll honor those leaders who are leaving Maine’s Museums and Archives and welcome their successors)
  • Special Tours ( HudsonMuseum, Paige Farm & Home Museum)

This year’s theme is “Understanding our Past, Re-Envisioning our Future” and the Program Committee has selected a variety of powerhouse sessions to help you assess where you have been and propel you forward armed with information and knowledge on the latest trends in museums and archives.
