Social History Curators Group Conference
More for Less: big impacts with small resources
Museum professionals are experts at utilising creativity, verve and imagination
to overcome the potential limitations of small resources. At different times we
are all likely to face the difficulties of shrinking budgets, limited funding
options and overburdened resources.
This year’s conference tackles these problems head on, and shows you how
you can rise to the challenge and provide high quality and engaging experiences
for your visitors. Topics covered will include proven strategies from previous
times of economic difficulty and recent case studies that have demonstrated
innovation and inspiration despite various restrictions.
SHCG are pleased to invite proposals from across the museum profession, for
presentations which address one or more of the core conference themes:
• Survival stories – how museums have coped with resource cuts and
limitations
• Engaging and increasing your audiences without increasing your costs
• Creative ways of working with small budgets – examples relating
to collections, interpretation, partnerships, learning and marketing
• Minimising the environmental cost – sustainability and recycling
• Developing partnerships with libraries, archives and children’s
centres
• Digital technologies – new solutions for age-old problems
Please email proposals for presentations to Hannah Crowdy,
[log in to unmask], by 1st February 2010
Proposals for a 30 minute presentation should include a 200 word summary of the
presentation, contact details and institutional affiliation (if any).
Speakers’ travel and subsistence costs can be reimbursed (travel
reimbursed at standard fare rate) and there will be no attendance fee on the
day of speaking.
The Social History Curators Group was formed to improve the status and
provision of social history in museums and the standards of collections,
research, display and interpretation. The group acts as a forum for sharing
ideas and practical experience with others involved in social and local history
in museums.
