Local History Workshops

Capacity Within

We are all encouraged to build capacity to do more with less, or improve quality, or meet someone else’s expectations. How can local history organizations do that? Capacity originates from within. This year’s Spring Workshops focus on how you can draw from that dual strength in working with consultants, crafting better grants, and making better use of historic buildings as museums. As always, you will have the opportunity to renew contact with your colleagues, learn some useful tips and tricks, and take a tour.

Local History workshops are primarily intended for volunteers and staff of local historical organizations in Minnesota. They are also appropriate for staff of libraries, schools, heritage preservation commissions, chambers of commerce, convention and visitor bureaus, and other cultural organizations. Interested members of the public are always welcome.

Fee: $30 per person before April 19, 2013. $40 per person after April 19. Includes materials, lunch, refreshments, and special tour.
