This week in Newport, Rhode Island, the New England Museum Association held its 95th annual conference. I joined Adriene Katz of the Shelburne Museum, Jennifer Brundage of the Smithsonian, and Debbie Douglas of MIT in presenting on the topic, “Collaborations: Who, What, When, Where, Why—and Why Not,” on November 14, 2013.

My presentation (below) discusses collaboration and provides examples from history-related organizations.  The document below that provides guidelines for successful collaborations and is based on the round table discussions that took place during the second half of the session.
