This webinar will introduce the Regional Heritage Stewardship Program, a National Endowment for the Humanities-funded initiative that will bring educational programming, training, and professional assessment opportunities related to collections care and management to Alabama, Mississippi, and the Florida Panhandle.
Presenters will provide an overview of the two-year program including topics that will be covered in workshops and webinars, opportunities for cultural institutions in the region to participate, and overall goals for the program. Questions about the initiative will be welcomed in an open, interactive Q&A session, and participants will have the opportunity to suggest ideas for future workshops and webinars.
