(Please re-circulate to your members & listserv subscribers!)

The BC Museums Association has re-launched its signature publication, Museums Roundup in its new, electronic format, now available on the BCMA website at:
http://www.museumsassn.bc.ca/Content/Membership/Roundup.asp

This premiere issue of our re-designed quarterly journal introduces a new, interactive capability that in future issues will enable active links to audio podcasts, streaming video clips and possibly, YouTube-style presentations by our advertising supporters. A special thanks to our Conference 2010 Trade Show exhibitors who have participated in this issue. By clicking their display ads, you can be transported to their corporate websites and explore their numerous products and services your museum, art gallery or heritage site just may be looking for.

The online Fall 2010 issue features stories from over 20 contributors, including volunteers, museum and gallery professionals, independent contractors and academics from all over BC and beyond.

Content highlights include:

 *   “Resource Roundup” with Conference 2010 keynote speaker, Nina Simon
 *   Conference 2010 feature & conference themes in action in BC museums and galleries
 *   Cultural tourism in Nanaimo, BC
 *   Chronicle of provincial funding cuts & impacts on BC’s museums and galleries
 *   Conservation of the E.J. Hughes mural in Nanaimo (and the subject of a Conference 2010 presentation by Cheryle Harrison)
 *   “Lunch with Owl” featuring the RBCM’s venerable, Gary Mitchell
 *   “Geek Speak” goes to the Kootenays to learn about “Tag technology”

…and more about the museums, galleries and heritage sites across the province.

This marks the first issue produced by new Managing Editor, Lisa Codd, and her team from Shared Solutions. Lisa was selected from the highly competitive RFP process issued last spring.

The BCMA wishes to welcome and congratulate Lisa, the designers and contributors for a fabulous first effort!

We would love to receive your comments, so that we may be able to make Roundup as engaging, informative and representative of our provincial community as possible.

Thank you!
