FYI...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">ART MUSEUM LIBRARIES SYMPOSIUM<br>
Join us September 23 & 24!<br>
Libraries,<br>
archives and museums all face similar challenges. Libraries and archives<br>
affiliated with art museums have a second layer of concerns: how best to relate<br>
to their parent institution. Peabody<br>
Essex Museum's (PEM's) Phillips Library will host a symposium to explore the issues<br>
associated with this very question.<br>
Among the presenters are<br>
leaders from top institutions, including PEM, Harvard Art Museum, the<br>
Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, Minneapolis Institute of<br>
Arts, Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Morgan Library and Museum, San Francisco<br>
Museum of Modern Art, Minnesota Historical Society, the National Gallery of<br>
Art, and the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian<br>
Institution.<br>
Full scholarships and generous discounts are available for staff in museums with<br>
budgets under $5 million, for junior staff in museums with budgets over $5 million<br>
and for pre-professional graduate students. Staff in museums holding art works<br>
from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation are eligible for full scholarships plus expenses.<br>
The scholarships and discounts are available to qualifying candidates on a first<br>
come, first serve basis.<br>
The Phillips Library is one of New<br>
England's most important and historic research libraries. It is a major<br>
resource for residents and scholars with interests in genealogy, maritime<br>
history and New England history, or documents relating to the museum's vast and<br>
diverse collection. The library also holds the nation's largest collection of<br>
ship logs and journals as well as original court documents from the 1692 Salem<br>
witchcraft trials.<br>
