Propose a CSI project

This year we will be in Tacoma, Washington for the Western Museums Association Annual Meeting, October 21-24, 2017.

RC-WR is looking for institutions in the Tacoma area who could use a hand with a project. CSI: Registrars will take place on Sunday October 21, 9am – 4pm. Please complete our proposal form to be considered. We will let everyone know which institution is chosen by September 7, 2018.

For CSI projects, RC-WR supplies an appropriate number of trained collections professionals to volunteer for a day, supplies needed for the project, transportation for the volunteers to and from your museum (unless you can help out), and lunch (you make the recommendation, we’ll do the paying).

In short, you get a full day of professional assistance for FREE! That’s certainly worth taking the time to send a proposal, right? It’s as simple as filling out and sending us this form. Deadline for submissions is August 31, 2018.
