Newsletter Guidelines

Maine Archives & Museums publishes a quarterly newsletter in February, May, August, and November.  We encourage members to submit news about their organization and other items of interest to the field.

August 2015 ISSUE DEADLINES

 

The deadline for submissions to the May 2015 newsletter is June 30, 2015.  This issue will cover the months of August, September, and October 2015, so please send only information on exhibitions, events, and opportunities that will be relevant to that time period.

 

NOTE : We still welcome the submission of your event and exhibition blurbs; however, due to space constraints, we will no longer be printing them in the newsletter.  Instead, brief blurbs about events and exhibitions will appear on the event calendar on this website. We will be happy to upload them for you if you send them with your newsletter submissions--but you should also know that as a member you can upload events at any time!  Instructions here.  You'll be helping us out if you can include all the "who, what, where, when" and contact information in a format like the following:


  • Name of Event
  • Name of Organization Hosting Event and/or event location
  • Date and Time of Event
  • Description of event
  • Street address for event. 
  • FMI: phone number / e-mail / website.

 

All submissions should be sent as separate e-mail attachments, ideally in Word format, though we can read almost any word-processing software.  Please send images as separate jpg attachments (do not embed them in your text files). See full guidelines to the right.

 

Please e-mail submissions to newsletter editor Jessica Skwire Routhier at jsrouthier@gmail.com and be sure to put “for MAM newsletter” or the equivalent in your subject field. We look forward to receiving your submissions!

 

REMEMBER: You must be an up-to-date member of MAM to submit material to the newsletter!  Need to renew?  Do it now, online: click here.  Not sure of your membership status or having trouble renewing?  E-mail info@mainemuseums.org.

 

Look for your newsletter in-print and on-line in August 2015!
