AASLH Announces 2019 Small Museums Scholarship Winners

Now in their thirteenth year, the Small Museums Affinity Community’s annual scholarships help colleagues from small museums across the country join us at our Annual Meeting for four days of educational sessions, hands-on workshops, and networking. Funded through generous donations from AASLH members, this scholarship provides a great opportunity for members from small institutions  to gain a bigger perspective through a national conference.

This year the committee awarded six scholarships to applicants from six states. Congratulations to this year’s winners, and we can’t wait to meet you in Philadelphia!
