Join the Curators PAG Thursday, November 13 during the NEMA Annual Conference for the Lunchtime PAG Session:
The Changing Role of Curators
The curator's role is changing in today's museums. Curators have new demands and the expectation to wear many hats, no matter the size of the museum. Join your colleagues for lunch and a short business meeting, including an update on CurCom activities from Linda Eppich, (Archivist/Grant Writer, Preservation Society of Newport County, RI). John Mayer (Curator of Museum Collections, Maine Historical Society) will provide an update on revisions to the Curator Code of Ethics. Ron Potvin (Assistant Director & Curator, John Nicholas Brown Center, RI) will lead a discussion of how the role of the curator is changing to meet the needs of the 21st century.
