Looking for ways to enhance access and improve preservation for your collections? If so, embracing digitization may allow you to provide information about your collection anywhere at any time, while limiting possible damage to fragile items. In this overview, participants will consider the benefits of digitization, including how to identify collections to digitize, as well as what resources and information are necessary to conduct a successful project. Several examples of successful digital projects will be presented.

Speaker: Gina Minks, Consultant, Gina Minks Consulting LLC; Jan Davis, Administrative Archivist, Oklahoma Department of Libraries Assessing Your Diamond by Addressing the Four Cs (Creativity, Clarity, Communication and Commitment) 10:00am-4:00pm • Held at Woolaroc Museum, 1925 Woolaroc Ranch Road, Bartlesville Participants are responsible for transportation to/from this pre-conference workshop. Lunch is provided. Workshop is FREE for registered conference participants. Separate registration required; travel grants available see below. How can your institution exercise more creativity to resolve challenging issues? How can your institution set more clear objectives to refine and shape its programs better? How could your museum improve getting its message through more effectively inside and outside the museum? How can you impact the commitment your museum makes to your community and building and sustaining audiences? Attend this OMA preconference workshop to hear case study examples from OMA peers that reflect how each of their institutions has addressed one or more of the “Four C’s” (creativity, clarity, communication, and commitment) to enhance their work and organization. Participants will work together in small peer groups to discuss and address a real and future challenge at their institutions and think of ways to consider how using creativity, seeking clarity, improving communication, or emphasizing commitment might impact change. This preconference workshop, presented by Mid-America Arts Alliance and in collaboration with the Woolaroc Museum and the Oklahoma Museums Association, requires advance registration as space is limited. Attendees must be registered for the OMA conference to attend this workshop. A separate registration is required to attend this workshop - register here.

Deadline for grant funding is August 31 and funds are awarded on a first come, first served basis as funding allows. Please contact Kristy Peterson at [email protected] or 816.800.0917 for questions or additional information. Following the pre-conference workshop, Bob Fraser, CEO of Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve, will talk to participants about how conservation and preservation is more than taking care of the physical asset and includes perservation of history. At the conclusion, participants can tour the museum.

For a variety of reasons, we often don’t feel like we can turn down donations, but this session will explore the times where it is not just good practice, but it is legally or practically necessary to refuse objects. Sometimes, an object may be too deteriorated to accept or perhaps it doesn’t fit the mission or scope of the institution. Other times, it might fall under the often-confusing heading of legal issues related to NAGPRA, CITIES, or other international statutes. And then there are hazardous materials ranging from radioactive mineral specimens and old pesticide-treated taxidermy mounts to live ammunition and self-combusting medical supplies. Whether an object is hazardous, was a possible war trophy, or was looted from its country of origin, there are a variety of issues to be aware of prior to accepting a new donation. In many cases, you may not be able to accept these items and you may just have to learn to say NO. Speakers: Karen Whitecotton, Owner, Heritage Museum Services; Stephanie Allen, Collection Manager of Ethnology; Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History Shine Bright - How to Brilliantly Cut and Polish Community Events at Your Museum Bartlesville Community Center This panel discussion will focus on the best practices for partnering with local organizations and/or businesses for special programming and events.

The 1930’s era armory that houses the museum was tested for lead and asbestos issues throughout the building. The good news, lead and asbestos was found but not in areas that directly affected the public spaces in the building. The bad news, all of the collection storage spaces, encompassing nearly 40,000 artifacts and 4800 square feet of storage was impacted. This session will detail the adventure that followed as the staff worked with city and state agencies to accomplish the work that needed to be done, protect the collections, redesign storage areas and minimized the disruption to museum programs and services, all within the restriction of completing the remediation work during the 2015-2016 fiscal year. Speaker: Deborah Baker, Curator of Collections, and Anna Studstill, Program Director, Edmond Historical Society & Museum Arts and Humanities Funding Opportunities Bartlesville Community Center The Oklahoma Humanities Council and Oklahoma Arts Council will both present funding opportunities for museums seeking grant monies.
