Greater Hudson Heritage Network’s Weblog is a resource for museums, historical sites and heritage keepers throughout the greater Hudson Valley and metropolitan region. Intended to serve the field and enhance the work of house museum staff, trustees, interpreters, curators and consultants, this blog will identify and track historic house planning and preservation resources, post reference materials, circulate news and information related to the field and provide a timely and efficient mechanism for linking users and promoting the exchange of ideas and innovations. Postings will include resources developed by Greater Hudson staff, information regarding its up-coming 2009 Practicum for Museum Professionals in 21st Century Historic House Museums and links, re-postings and musings on relevant information, news and events.
As part of GHHN’s on-going efforts to facilitate dialogue and create an online network among its constituents, we hope that this blog will function as a forum for the exchange of ideas, concerns, resources and current events. If you have information or resources that you would like to share, an announcement of an up-coming event or project occurring at your institution, or would just like to pose a question or idea to our audience, please email them to intern(at)greaterhudson.org, and we will post them on the site.
