From the Chair
By Jenny Hankinson, CWAM Chair
The CWAM Board of Directors met at the Estes Park Museum in June to determine the organization's annual goals and objectives for 2008. The Board came up with the following goals:
- Develop mentoring activities through the Annual Meeting and MAST
- Make connections with museum studies students and create a relationship with the museum studies programs
- Each board member will recruit one new member
- Put the Museum Guide and other services on our website; several pages on website are currently "under construction"
- Update the Policies and Procedures Guide used by the board
Having seen all that Estes Park has to offer, we are excited about our next Annual Meeting, to be held there May 7-10, 2009. Mark your calendars now!
Our next board meeting, held in Casper in late September, was the annual (and often dreaded) budget meeting. We are looking forward to keeping our budget balanced, and hopeful that the upcoming Annual Meeting will add to our coffers. In addition to the budget discussion, the board also is enthused about meeting our goals, mentioned above. Our website is gradually transforming into CWAM's premier resource for information about the organization, our member services, and contact information. If you haven't logged on in a while, you can now re-new your membership online, using PayPal!
Another exciting development is CWAM's involvement in both the Colorado and Wyoming Connecting To Collections Grant applications. CWAM also continues to participate in the Federal Formula Grant Coalition. Stay tuned for more information!

2009 CWAM Annual Conference
May 7-10, 2009
Estes Park, Colorado
By Betty Kilsdonk, Local Arrangements 2009
"I have just dropped into the very place I have been seeking, but in everything it exceeds all my dreams."
So reported English travel writer Isabella Bird almost 150 years ago regarding her visit to Estes Park. 2009 marks the Sesquicentennial of Estes Park's "discovery" by Joel Estes and his son Milton while on a hunting trip. It was so-named by William Byers, first editor of the Rocky Mountain News, who stayed with the Estes family in 1864 while attempting to climb Longs Peak. He called Estes Park the "very gem of beauty," reporting that "the landscape struck us at first sight as one of the most lovely we ever beheld." Of course, Estes Park's nineteenth century pioneers are the relative newcomers to the history of this area, which was well known to the Ute, Arapaho and other Native Americans.
Conference headquarters are the Holiday Inn - Rocky Mountain Park Inn and the adjacent Estes Park Conference Center. Friday night's dinner and CWAM Bowl will be held at the Elk Meadow Lodge and RV Resort. This colorful location includes a lodge building originally located in the National Park. In the early 1960s a film company used the site as a shooting location and tourist attraction (some filming of the Bonanza television series is said to have occurred there).
With its proximity to beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park, moderate climate and array of recreational opportunities, we hope that your experience here in 2009 will also exceed your dreams.

Call for Session Proposals
2009 CWAM Annual Meeting
May 7-10, 2009 - Estes Park, Colorado
By Christina Shepard
The 2009 CWAM Program Committee invites all members and friends to participate in the Annual Meeting by presenting a session. We would love to hear about your programs, helpful suggestions and experiences. The theme for the 2009 meeting is "Agents of Change". Change is something that we are faced with everyday. Sometimes it is something to be embraced; while other times it is something that we resist. The 2009 meeting will focus on helping CWAM members initiate, accept, and implement positive change in their institutions and the museum community as a whole.
The CWAM Annual Meeting offers 2-3 pre-conference workshops, about 18 sessions and there is an average attendance of over 100 people. Our membership has a wide variety of museum professionals that come from a diverse group of institutions.
Proposed sessions should address the Annual Meeting theme in some fashion. Sessions last for 75 minutes and should be creative, engaging, and relevant. Presenters are encouraged to bring their own A/V equipment whenever possible. For more information, contact the Program Committee Chair, Christina Shepard at 307-362-3138 or christina_shepard@rswy.net. Deadline for Proposals will be Friday, December 12, 2008.

 2009 CWAM Annual Meeting
Keynote Speaker
Peter H. Hassrick has been announced as the keynote speaker for the 2009 Annual Meeting. Mr. Hassrick is Director of the Petrie Institute of Western American Art at the Denver Art Museum. Prior to that appointment, in June 2005, he was a writer and independent American art scholar who focused on the West. He lived in Cody, Wyoming and served a national and international constituency of museums as a guest curator. He is the Founding Director Emeritus of the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. He was also the founding Director of The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico, leading it from inception to opening in sixteen months. For twenty years before that, Hassrick served as the Director of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody. Under his guidance, the Historical Center gained accreditation by the American Association of Museums and grew dynamically in both physical and fiscal dimensions to become the largest museum of art and history between Minneapolis and San Francisco. From 1969 to 1976, he was Curator of Collections at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. He has taught and lectured widely in both the university and public forum.
Hassrick was born in Philadelphia and raised in Denver. He earned a B.A. in History from the University of Colorado and a M.A. in Art History from the University of Denver, with a concentration in 19th-century and early 20th-century American Art. Hassrick's devotion to the history and art of the American West has inspired numerous exhibitions, lectures and publications that he has produced throughout his career. A sampling of his books (many of which accompanied exhibitions) include Frederic Remington (1973), The Way West (1977), The Rocky Mountains: A Vision for Artists in the 19th Century (1983) with Patricia Trenton, Treasures of the Old West (1984), George Catlin: Drawings of North American Indians (1984), Charles Russell (1989), Frederic Remington: A Catalogue Raisonné of Oils, Watercolors and Drawings (1996) with Melissa Webster, The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum (1997), The American West: Out of Myth, Into Reality (2000), Remington, Russell and the Language of Western Art (2000), Drawn to Yellowstone: Artists in America's First National Park (2002), Wildlife and Western Heroes: Alexander Phimister Proctor, Sculptor (2003), The Art of William Ranney (2007) with Linda Bantel and In Contemporary Rhythm: The Art of Ernest L. Blumenschein (2008) with Elizabeth Cunningham.
Hassrick is married to Elizabeth D. (Buzzy) Hassrick, a newspaper reporter, and has two grown sons, Philip, a doctor, and Charles, an environmental designer and artist.

MAST Update
By Carl Patterson
Mannequin or dress form for Victorian dress
The Hotel de Paris in Georgetown, Colorado has recently acquired a turn of the century wedding dress and would like to find a source of exhibit forms that work well with vintage clothing of this period. This is no doubt a question that has been raised a number of times in regional museums, so this information is being shared. Readers are asked to submit their own solutions or findings as well. Thanks are given here to Alice Zrebiec, textile curator of the Denver Art Museum and Linda Carlson from CSU Fort Collins who generously shared their experience and contacts.
It seems there are three options.
1.) Make your own customized form to fit the dress and recreate the desire period shape. There have been a number of mannequin making workshops in our region during the past few years and more are likely to come. Done well, these can be the ideal solution in terms of cost and fit.
2. Purchase a period dress form. This is a bit hit or miss, but forms do certainly turn up in antique shops, on e-bay, and through companies that specialize in vintage textiles. Karen Augusta at oldlace@sover.net might be a good place to start. Remember that period dress forms are not going to be archival and will doubtlessly need some additional padding to fit the gown properly.
3. Purchase a new dress form intended for long-term exhibition use. The web lists many manufacturers and I found that prices vary as will sizes, shapes, and materials used in construction. Supposedly the best ones come from the Kyoto Costume Institute (Rolls-Royce of the line) but other companies such as Bernstein's make good forms and figures as well. However, most are not small enough at the waist to recreate the heavily corseted look.
Dorfman Museum Figures (http://www.museumfigures.com) sounds like the best and most reasonable source. Their vendor had a booth at the AIC conf. this year, and the company clearly specializes in affordable mannequins for museum use. They make one with a 20 inch waist which comes apart into bust and hip portions. This will accept a polyethylene foam insert to take the waist smaller still if needed. This form would still need padding for a customized fit and adequate support, but this is an easy modification. Their conservation forms run in the $500 range, which is reasonable for something made of stable, archival materials. Visit them online or order a catalogue. You will be amazed at what is available today.

Maximizing CWAM's Value to your Museum and Community
By Jenny Hankinson, CWAM Chair
Think both big and small: participation in CWAM isn't limited to the larger museums and communities in WY and CO - any size community can utilize or host CWAM in a variety of ways:
- Host an Annual Meeting
- Host a Board Meeting
- Host a Professional Development Workshop
- Use MAST
- Borrow an EMK
Hosting an Annual Meeting:
Do you have a new building you'd like to show off, or have you been thinking of ways to get more people to visit your community and all the museums there? Consider hosting the CWAM Annual Meeting! Generally held in May of each year, the Annual Meeting is the most important single event that CWAM sponsors. Meetings are held in Wyoming in "even" years and in Colorado in "odd" years. The main requirements for host locations are that they must be located within the CWAM region, have hotel or dormitory accommodations for at least 70 rooms, and that they must be a current Institutional Member of CWAM. See more details and the Host Criteria Sheets and Applications, which can be downloaded from the CWAM website: www.coloradomuseums.org or www.wyomingmuseums.org. Please contact the CWAM Chair, Jenny Hankinson at 303-795-3997, jhankinson@littletongov.org, or the Annual Meeting Chair, Betsy Martinson at 303-526-0744, Betsy.martinson@denvergov.org.
Hosting a CWAM Board Meeting:
The CWAM Board meets 4 times a year, and is always looking for new regions to visit! The meetings alternate between Colorado and Wyoming, allowing the Board the opportunity to more intimately connect with very small communities. Requirements include: local hotel accommodations for 8 - 12 rooms, and a meeting space with tables and chairs, preferably at your museum. For more information, contact the CWAM Chair, Jenny Hankinson, at 303-795-3997, jhankinson@littletongov.org.
Hosting a CWAM Workshop:
CWAM offers full-day and half-day workshops that cover museum topics and concerns of professional and non-professional museum people. Registration is open to ALL museums (both members and non-members) in Colorado and Wyoming and the surrounding area. Host institutions must be a current Institutional Member of CWAM, and provide the staff necessary to organize the local arrangements for the workshop.
Half-day workshops are designed to cover basic museum topics and concerns to the museum professional and non-professional. The workshops are intended for small groups of 10 to 20 people; should utilize resource people within the region that are able to donate their time; costs should be minimal for registration.
Full-day workshops are designed to provide in-depth coverage of museum topics and concerns rather than basic or general treatments. Intended for larger groups, they are scheduled for a full day, and possibly two days. Presenters often have national standing in their field and can provide an outstanding educational opportunity for participants.
For more information about hosting a half- or full-day workshop in your community, or if you have an idea for a workshop topic, please contact the CWAM Workshop Chair, Teresa Sherwood, at 307-745-6161, tsherw@state.wy.us.
Utilize MAST (Museum Assistance & Services Team)
MAST exists to respond to member museums' needs for technical assistance through volunteer service and sharing of information about all museum-related topics. If you are an Institutional Member with a problem requiring expert advice, or need assistance in finding museum supplies and resources, or need a disaster plan resource list, you are encouraged to contact the MAST Chair for assistance. Recent requests for information include locating a period body form for early 19th century dresses, and finding environmental consultants for replacement of a swamp cooler. Contact the MAST Chair, Carl Patterson, at 720-865-5029, cpatterson@denverartmuseum.org for more information.
Borrow an EMK (Environmental Monitoring Kit)
Why use an EMK? Environmental monitoring is important in determining how to keep your collections safe from damage, and tracking what you cannot always see or feel. Utilize the data you get to determine if your lighting is actually hurting your artifacts on exhibit and in your collections, and discover why you're seeing new mold spots on some of your artifacts. CWAM has a kit for each state, and features a hand-held ELSEC 764C unit which measures UV and visible light, temperature, and humidity. The unit can be used for data-logging, and includes detailed, easy-to-use instructions, software, and a USB-infrared adapter for use with your PC. Museums with an Institutional Membership may borrow the EMK for a period of one month. There is no charge for using the kit, but there may be expenses charged for shipping. For more information, please contact your state's EMK Chair: CO - Liz Cook, 303-370-6152, liz.cook@dmns.org; WY - Sarah Gadd, 307-766-6621, sarahl@uwyo.edu
Pass it on! Please share this newsletter with other museums in your area. Encourage the small (and all) museums in your community to join and participate - remember that membership is inexpensive and CWAM can help put them on the map!

BCR's CDP Celebrates 10th Anniversary
AURORA, Colo. - BCR's CDP, the nationally recognized digitization collaborative, celebrates
10 years of access, training and service to the cultural heritage community. From its origins
as the state-based Colorado Digitization Project, BCR's Collaborative Digitization Program
(CDP) has become a model for creating digital access to the cultural, historical and scientific
heritage collections of the West by building collaboration between archives, historical
societies, libraries and museums.
During the last 10 years, the foundation of BCR's CDP evolved from the premise that
Colorado's archives, libraries, museums and historical societies could collaborate to share
their unique resources and special collections through digitization. This type of cultural
heritage collaboration had never been attempted in the U.S.
In 1999-2001 CDP received the first of many state and federal grants. This initial IMLS
grant allowed the CDP to establish regional scan centers, develop a robust training program,
consulting services and a grant program that supported digitization of cultural heritage
holdings. In 2001, the CDP was expanded beyond Colorado through the Western Trails
project, bringing Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas and Utah cultural heritage institutions into the
collaborative.
In April 2007, the CDP merged into BCR. "The merger of the CDP and BCR has resulted in
new initiatives such as collaboration with the Colorado Wyoming Association of Museums on
a 2008 IMLS Connecting to Collections grant proposal," noted Brenda Bailey-Hainer, BCR
President and CEO.
Today, the CDP is part of BCR's Digital and Preservation Services unit, offering training and
consulting services along with products and services that support libraries' and cultural
heritage institutions' digital programs. New content is being added to Heritage West on a
regular basis, and BCR is partnering to submit grants that will advance digital and
preservation programs in member organizations. Continuing with the CDP's tradition of
collaboration and outreach services, BCR's CDP program offers best practices and resources
for anyone developing their institution's digital collections.
Access to the resources created by the CDP members and participants is sustained through
the expanding Heritage West database. In addition to increasing access to these unique
resources, the CDP also has explored opportunities for incorporating digital primary source
materials into classroom instruction. Today, there are more than 130 lesson plans for K-12
teachers available through the BCR CDP website.
"After more than a decade, the CDP continues to offer libraries and other cultural heritage
institutions across the West and the nation access to tools that support their work in
creating digital content, as well as examples for how to incorporate digital content into
teaching and learning," commented Liz Bishoff, Director, Digital and Preservation Services,
BCR.
BCR brings libraries together for greater success by expanding their knowledge, reach and power. They offer a broad range of solutions and their hands-on, personal attention to each member enables them to deliver effective and timely solutions that help libraries keep pace with new developments in technology and services. BCR is the nation's oldest and most established multistate library cooperative. Since 1935, the BCR team has helped libraries learn new skills, reach patrons, increase productivity and save money. BCR (Bibliographical Center for Research) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit headquartered in Aurora, Colorado.
For more information, visit www.BCR.org or email info@bcr.org.

| Announcements
A bright future is dawning for Golden's history museums. Beginning January 1, 2009, the nonprofit Golden History Museums will manage the Astor House Museum, Clear Creek History Park, and the Golden Pioneer Museum together as one organization. The Friends of the Astor House Museum and Clear Creek History Park are changing our name to better reflect our new role. Thanks to the work of many dedicated individuals, the Golden community will soon have one source for local history, stretching from past to present. Please watch our website www.goldenhistorymuseums.org for details.
The Mountain Plains Museum Association has announced the winners of its annual Publications Design Competition. Hiwan Homestead Museum in Evergreen, Colorado, has won the Best Design in Brochures and Rack Cards award for its new four-color museum brochure. The brochure was funded through the Museum's parent organization, Jefferson County Open Space, and it was designed by the department's graphic design specialist, Bridgit Coffman. The bright, colorful brochure is being distributed at tourist centers and other locations throughout Colorado. Hiwan Homestead Museum is a complex of five historic buildings, including a 17-room log mansion known for its rustic mountain architecture.
The Colorado Historical Society is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Steven Turner as the new Director of the State Historical Fund (SHF), a program of the Colorado Historical Society that awards grants to public and non-profit organizations to preserve Colorado's architectural and archaeological treasures for public benefit. Turner comes to the Colorado Historical Society from his current position as Executive Director of Historic Denver. He will begin in October.
The Meeteetse (Wyoming) Museum District selected Woody Searles as the Museum's new director earlier this year. Mr. Searles' museum experience includes work at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and at Grand Caverns Regional Park. The Meeteetse Museum District is comprised of three facilities - the Meeteetse Museum, Charles Belden Museum and the Meeteetse Bank Museum. Admission is free to all of the District facilities; please call 307-868-2423 or email mmuseum@tctwes.net for hours and information.
Ed Raines has been hired as half-time Collections Manager by the Colorado School of Mines Geology Museum. Visit the Museum to see the many other changes that have taken place over the last seven months, including new signage and new exhibits. Also look for future upgrades to the website and brochure.
