Museums and Sustainable Communities	Posted: November 13, 2007
To those interested in how museums can position themselves to be catalysts of cultural change and contribute to the sustainability of their communities. In Canada, the Working Group on Museums and Sustainable Communities has been developing resources and delivering workshops to museum organizations on this topic for the past 7 years. There is now a website that provides information on the Working Group and access to its most recent 'Resource Document' (as a downloadable pdf file). For access to the Working Group's website, go to www.geocities.com/wgmsc There are additional resources on culture and sustainability available through my own website, listed below. The website for material related to the Working Group on Museums and Sustainable Communities has a daily limit for data transfer. It seems that there are a lot of people interested in the website and the daily limit for today has already been reached - which was also the case yesterday. My suggestion is to make a note to log on later in the week. Sorry for the hassle, but we don't have money for web-hosting, which is why we are using a free geocities hosting site. If you send me an email, I will send you the main 'reference document' for the Working Group. email - douglas_worts@rogers.com personal website: www.geocities.com/dcworts/ Cheers!
