Hi All,

 

Please see call for papers for the exciting NatSCA 2019 conference and AGM: http://natsca.org/natsca2019

 

Dead Interesting: Secrets of Collections Success.

1^st May – 3^rd May 2019

National Museum of Ireland, Dublin, Collings Barracks site

The #NatSCA2019 conference aims to unlock the secrets of collections success by sharing how our members and colleagues in the wider sector have used collections
to benefit their organisations, communities and the wider world.

We will host three themed sessions, with a focus on:

·         Collections: Reveal your collections care, research and access secrets.

·         Engagement: What are your engagement success stories and how did you make them happen?

·         Museums and Tech: How has technology helped you unlock, understand and unleash your collections?

This conference intends to offer an opportunity to share the best ideas and approaches to working with collections. We will prioritise papers that focus on sharing ideas, tools and guidance rather than simply reporting results – so please try to reflect this in your abstract.

While we have a focus on natural science collections, we recognise that we can learn from others in the wider museum sector and we welcome submissions from anyone who wishes to share techniques and ideas with broader relevance and application.

Deadline for submission: 4th January 2019

 

Thanks all!

 

Jan
