Do you work for a small heritage organization and have no money? We feel your pain! Heritage NL, in collaboration with MANL, ANLA, and Conception Bay Museum, will be running a free workshop on “heritage on a budget” for small organizations, with a focus on small rural museums with limited space and limited resources.
