In-Person Workshop: JEDAI Training
This workshop has been postponed until Fall 2025
Mohave Museum of History, Kingman AZ
Take part in this FREE in-person half-day workshop, developed by members of the Arizona State Parks and Trails staff, that focuses on a expanded form of diversity training that includes five core principles:
Justice: Identifying and removing barriers that prevent diversity, equity, inclusion of difference, and accessibility.
Equity: Fair and equal access to opportunity that recognizes that people have different needs.  
Diversity: The presence and recognition of differences - both visible and invisible - within a group of people.
Accessibility: Giving equitable access to everyone along the continuum of ability and experience.
Inclusion: Deliberately and authentically welcoming and valuing differences.
You will be able to use this judgement-free space to engage in meaningful conversations and share and learn openly.
 

Webinar: Organizing Archival Materials in a Museum: A Step-by-Step Plan
April 29, 2025, 2:00 p.m.
Do you have documents, photographs, and other archival materials in your museum and no archivist to help?   This webinar is for you!   Continuing MAA’s program of archival training for museum professionals, we will be reviewing the basics of archival organization, including how to identify what is “archival”, how to review the collections (including those mysterious terms, “appraisal” and “processing”), and how to best store these materials, even on a small budget.
