Texas History Museums—

Mark your Calendar for the upcoming workshop hosted by the Collections Managers Committee (a Texas Association of Museums affinity group). Date: March 16, 2010

Leaving Your Mark on History: Marking and Labeling Historical Artifacts and Documents is a hands-on workshop covering labeling and marking techniques and materials to mark historic artifacts, works on paper, ethnographic collections, and scientific collections and much more. Ever wonder which pen or barrier coat works best on what materials or how to mark on plastic? Are there items that just shouldn't be marked? Learn about these techniques and how to identify different materials, take home some samples, and learn various numbering systems as well as learn about newer inventory techniques, including RFIDs and barcoding.

The workshop is scheduled for March 16, 2010, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station. Cost is $50 for CMC members, $65 for non-members. The attached document contains the registration form and instructions.

If you have questions about this workshop, please contact Kathleen Stiefel at Kathleen.Stiefel@thestoryoftexas.com or 512-936-4603.
