Over the last 6 months whilst compiling articles for the newsletter one positive thing that has struck the Secretariat is the increase in the promotion of information exchange in the Caribbean region. The newsletter has covered a range of conferences occurring this year throughout the Caribbean and several new publications on curatorship in the Caribbean will have been released by the end of 2012.
Museums and museum staff should make the most of these conferences and see them not only as a forum to learn about new practices but also as a way to meet colleagues, not necessarily just in the field of museum work but also in many other disciplines. In the present financial situation the world finds itself, it may sound odd to be promoting attendance at conferences and buying books but museums must promote continued professional development of their staff -‐ if not they will stagnate and the museum will suffer.
MAC is of course aware that the financial constraints facing many museums at present may limit the physical attendance at conferences. This should not prevent personal development and to meet this need, by the end of this year the Secretariat will have posted articles and publications on the MAC website, accessible to MAC members.
Of course we would welcome as many of you at the MAC Annual General Meeting in Trinidad, October 21st-‐24th. Costs are kept as low as possible to encourage the largest number of attendees. We believe that the papers that are to be presented not only offer continued development for staff but also meeting fellow professionals can lead to exchange of ideas and may ignite partnerships at all levels.

In an unprecedented collaboration organised by El Museo del Barrio with the Queens Museum of Art and The Studio Museum in Harlem, CARIBBEAN: Crossroads of the World, an ambitious and trailblazing exhibition, will highlight over two centuries of rarely-‐seen works from the Haitian Revolution (c. 1804) to the present. The show features more than 400 works including painting, sculpture, prints, books, photography, film, video and historic artifacts from various Caribbean nations, Europe and the United States. Transcendent in scope, CARIBBEAN: Crossroads of the World examines the exchange of people, goods, ideas and information between the Caribbean basin, Europe and North America, and explores the impact of these relationships on the Caribbean and how it is imagined. This NYC-‐wide endeavour, supported by a major grant from MetLife Foundation, opened in the midst of the Caribbean-‐American Heritage Month, observed in the United States during the month of June. This exhibition will offer a compelling and dramatic exploration of the Caribbean and its Diaspora. Using a variety of objects from the collections of distinguished international institutions and archives, the exhibition will explore the transformation experienced by the region from the late eighteenth century on. Drawing upon new research of the last decades conducted in the United States and abroad, the project will advance understanding of the Caribbean as a crossroads for the modern world within the Western hemisphere. It will break new ground in areas of scholarship that have been neglected, such as the intense and complex dialogue between the Caribbean and the United States. Furthermore, it will address a series of themes inspired by geopolitical, ethnographic, historical and cultural events that have influenced the way the Caribbean looks and the way it is imagined. Several institutions, including the Americas Society, Bronx Museum and Nathan Cummings Foundation, among others, will mount related, concurrent exhibitions throughout New York City.

The Director General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, presented the Inscription Certificate to the Prime Minister, thus formalising the Inscription of Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison as a World Heritage Property. A number of dignitaries from UNESCO and CARICOM attended this national function.

In addition to the unveiling of the official plaques and the presentation of the inscription certificate, the 4:30 pm ceremony also featured a cultural presentation. Performances showcased iconic groups whose roots date back over a century and are representative of Barbadian culture: the Royal Barbados Police Force Band, the Zouave Band and the Barbados Landship.

Zoology Inspiring Art By Mike G. Rutherford, Curator of the UWIZM One of the aims of The University of the West Indies Zoology Museum (UWIZM) is to encourage as wide a range of people as possible to come and visit. We get a good variety of visitors ranging from preschoolers doing projects on bugs to foreign researchers searching for new species hidden amongst the collections. But as well as the scientifically minded visitor I also try to encourage the artistically minded. With this aim in mind I suggested that the inaugural outing of the Trinidad and Tobago
Group should be to the museum. Amy Deacon, the group leader, jumped at the chance and so on the 14th April this year 20 members and guests of the TTFNC came to the UWI St. Augustine campus in Trinidad. I showed the group around the two rooms in the UWIZM, one containing the specimens in spirit, skeletons and other dried objects and the other room filled with 30,000 pinned insects. Pretty soon everyone had found something of interest and eventually we had several people sketching a giant centipede and a seastar, one lady photographing the butterflies, a couple of members using pastels to draw beetles, painters working with nautilus shells and horseshoe crabs and many people being inspired by the various skulls.

Creative and Festival Arts dropping in as part of their 3-‐D modelling course. This allowed them to get a look at real animals, which helped them much more than just looking at photos in a book or online ever could. Some of the models produced were so realistic that I hoped the students would donate them to the museum; unfortunately none of them could be persuaded to part with their creations (yet!). For the museum, this sort of endeavour can lead to all sorts of interesting outcomes. Increased visitor numbers is an obvious one been offered help with getting high quality photographs of some of the specimens and I hope that in time the museum will host its first art show with some of the creations it helped to inspire.

Trinidad To Host the 2012 MAC AGM Update on Trinidad AGM - By Mike G. Rutherford The next MAC AGM and conference, planned for October 2012 in Trinidad, is coming together nicely. Potential talks include The
Emergency Plan by Nigel Sadler, Cataloguing the Angostura Ltd. Barcant Butterfly Collection by Kenneth Ceaser, Cataloguing the Natural History Collections of UWI by Mike Rutherford, An introduction to BRAHMS (Botanical Research and Herbarium Management Systems) by staff from the National Herbarium and many more.
As well as the museum side of things, we hope to introduce the delegates to the wide range of culinary delights that await them in Trinidad. The cuisine here has been influenced by many cultures such as the Indians, Amerinidians, Europeans, Africans, Creole, Chinese and Lebanese. Popular snacks and dishes include doubles, roti, pholourie, shark and bake, corn soup, souse and geera pork, all of which are generally smothered in a variety of sauces dominated by the hot pepper sauces beloved of all Trinidadians!
The island tour for the last day of the conference is also shaping up nicely. First on the itinerary is a visit to the Angostura Distillery; this tour includes a look at the secrets behind the world famous Angostura Bitters, a visit to their museum which looks at the history of the company as well as housing an amazing collection of Trinidad butterflies donated by Malcolm Barcant and a tour round the rum making facilities followed by a tasting session. Next we will head south to visit the Indian Caribbean Museum and learn more about the history of Indo-‐Caribbeans and then nearby we will visit the Temple in the Sea at Waterloo and the 85 foot tall Hanuman murti statue, which is reputed to be the tallest Hanuman statue outside of India. We will finish off the day with a visit to the Caroni Swamp where the delegates will go on a boat tour through the mangroves to watch the beautiful
be found in large numbers in the swamp along with many other species of animals including tree boas, silky anteaters, caiman and mangrove oysters.
With so much to experience in Trinidad we hope that, if time allows, many of the delegates will spend a few more days exploring what the island has to offer.

The shop of course was an attraction with its arts and crafts from local, Caribbean, South American and African artists, history and poetry books and reproductions of antique maps. The Foundation used the day also to call for new donations of old books, postcards, traditional clothing, photographs, old utensils, music instruments or other items that locals no longer use.

held in Paris in the month of June. New members of the Advisory Committee were noted, and this included the fact that MAC had a new President in Cyril Saltibus. Under ICOM Membership the fee is based on financial basis of the country and there are 4 categories of fees. Below is the data extrapolated from membership figures representing the Caribbean islands in 2011.
These figures arnearly 85% of the Individual members, the ICOM presence would be very low. For MAC to have any real influence in ICOM it needs to have representatives from the Caribbean. This means either in the National Committees, International committees or the Regional Alliances. Unfortunately from the statistics presented, there are very few ICOM members based in the Caribbean. What are the benefits of joining ICOM? Apart from access to a wide range of museum professionals, there are bursaries available for ICOM members. They are more likely to be given out to members from the poorer countries (those in membership category 3 or 4). The most common application for bursaries is to attend the ICOM Triennial General Conference and MAC would recommend members join ICOM to apply for bursaries to attend the ICOM Rio conference in 2013. At the meeting there was a presentation of the new collaborative platform -‐ Icommunity. This is just phase 1. Phase 2 should be completed by end of 2012 and phase 3, by beginning of 2013. Icommunity is a platform within the ICOM website that allows museum professionals to communicate with each other, to promote events etc.
ICOM Advisory Committee Meeting
The theme for International Museum Day (IMD) 2014 and 2015 were also chosen. After voting, the Advisory Committee will be recommending to the Executive Committee that the theme for 2014 should be Museum Connections Make Connections (proposed by ICOM Barbados) and for 2015 should be Museums for Sustainable Society.
IMD for 2016 will be the same as the theme that will be chosen by the host of the 2016 Triennial General Conference and after presentations from Milan, Moscow and Abu Dhabi to host the 2016 Triennial Conference. The Advisory Committee voted to recommend to the Executive Committee that Milan be the host of the 2016 Triennial Conference.

Follow Up to Haiti Earthquake On January 12th 2010 Haiti was hit by a magnitude 7 earthquake. The Haitian government has reported that at least 316,000 were killed during or immediately after the earthquake. In the early days the priority was to rescue those trapped and provide for those left homeless and injured. During the following months, one of the jobs was to carry out assessments on the condition of historic buildings, monuments, museums and museum collections. One of the leading agencies in this effort was the Smithsonian Institution from the USA. Their team was led by Richard Kurin and the work carried out by the Smithsonian in partnership with their
The book can be purchased from the Smithsonian, but there is also a free downloadable version of the publication at: http://haiti.si.edu/book.html The book gives a fascinating insight into the efforts made in Haiti.
The Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC) is a cooperative digital library encompassing resources from and about the Caribbean and the circum-‐Caribbean. dLOC, as it is also known, provides electronic access to digitized versions of Caribbean cultural, historical, legal, government and research materials in a common web space with a multilingual interface, to serve an international community of scholars, students and citizens.
The collections speak to the similarities and differences in histories, cultures, languages and governmental systems. They include newspapers, photographs, archives of Caribbean leaders and governments, official historical documents, and historic and contemporary maps.
Content can be browsed by several criteria: creators, geographic, partner collections, publishers, subjects and titles. Recently added content ranges from B&W photographs of public buildings held by the National Archives of Haiti from 1918 to 1945, to the latest issue of the Guantanamo Bay Gazette, published by the U.S. Naval Base.

The Ocean Project advances ocean conservation in partnership with zoos, aquariums, and museums (ZAMs) around the world. It provides cutting-‐edge market research and a variety of related resources and strategies to ZAMs and other interested organizations to enhance their conservation communication and outreach efforts with their visitors and the public. To achieve their collaborative mission and expand their market research initiative, The Ocean Project was awarded a three-‐year grant in 2010 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), with four major goals: 1. Measure changes in awareness and action on ocean and climate issues, expanding the market research, with three annual surveys and nine quarterly tracking survey updates;
2. Assist Ocean Project Partners including zoos, aquariums, and museums in integrating the research findings into their priorities and programs by providing in-‐depth analysis and actionable recommendations, while simultaneously providing the results to others in the broader conservation community;
3. Maximize the application of the research through professional development and other capacity building opportunities; and 4. Support and shape outreach efforts that connect climate change, the ocean, and individual action, especially as related to leveraging environmentally active youth to help build the core of a new movement of social responsibility for ocean conservation. One of the ultimate goals of this initiative is to help their partners create an ocean-‐literate and ready-‐to-‐act American public. Funding Available To help them maximize the application of the research, NOAA provided The Ocean Project with funding to create a national competitive small grants program. The Ocean Project Small Grants Program granted approximately $37,000 in 2011 and $70,000 in 2012 to ZAMs. This year, $63,000 in funding is available to partner ZAMs. There is a maximum of $15,000 (no minimum) per ZAM in any given year. Deadlines for small grants in 2012-‐2013 will be due by September 1st, 2012 and decisions are expected November 1st, 2012. Eligibility Eligible applicants are limited to zoos, aquariums, and museums in the United States that are partners in The Ocean Project network (see all partners listed here) and are also AZA-‐accredited institutions (can be based outside of the US). Other organizations seeking funds through this grant opportunity must work through one of these types of eligible organizations. If in doubt, please contact them. Further information about the 2012 Grant Program Goals can be found at: http://theoceanproject.org/communication-‐resources/market-‐research/request-‐for-‐proposals/?utm_source=Small+grants+annc&utm_campaign=call+for+proposals&utm_medium=email Application A 1-‐page progress report is due March 15th, 2013 and a two-‐page final report must be received by The Ocean Project by September 30th, 2013. Grant recipients will work with Ocean Project staff to share success stories with its entire network of partners and others through online case studies, presentations, and/or possible joint publication. To apply there is an online application form at http://theoceanproject.org/market-‐research/rfp.php If you have any questions on The Ocean Project Small Grants Program, you may contact Bill Mott, Director [email protected]
