Museum Alaska and Alaska Historical
Society
Joint Annual Conference September 16-19, 2009 Unalaska
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Yuri Berezkin
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Andrei Znamenski ** FULL SCHEDULE (.pdf) ** Why Unalaska? Our association is strong because it represents museums both large and small, from all parts of the state. And unique, small places like Kodiak, Ketchikan, and Homer have always been great destinations for our meetings. It's not just natural wonders, culture, history, and art - it's community, the font of all good ideas in the museum world. Our theme "Nature, Culture, History - Museums!" is a perfect match for Unalaska and for our host institution, the Museum of the Aleutians. The 2009 conference program will offer ideas, benefits, and inspiration to match the beauty around us. Planned sessions and workshops include Unangan cultural heritage, science and natural history education, community archaeology, professional development, exhibit design, collections care, and mount-making. Co-sponsors include the Unalaska/Dutch Harbor Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Grand Aleutians Hotel. Getting there The MA board is committed to helping its members to take advantage of this opportunity. Here's how: Travel scholarships: Scholarships to the conference are available! Apply by June 28, 2009. Our goal is to help equalize Unalaska travel with normal meeting costs. This initiative is made possible by generous sponsors, income from last year's meeting with WMA, and some targeted budget trimming. Alaska Airlines is pleased to offer Museums
