Curators PAG Survey

As the new PAG chair, I’d like to know what you would like to get out of the PAG. This year, our PAG is partnering with the Registrars and Collections Care Specialists PAG on a workshop; we’re working on something on the nuts and bolts of repatriation processes.

Your answers to this survey will shape what the Curators PAG offers in the future!

If you have any questions, contact me at tkehoe@mgh.harvard.edu
