Information & Resources

• The quarterly VAM News Magazine is voted a favorite benefit among VAM members. It reports on the latest issues in the field in feature articles and includes information on the museum community in Virginia and surrounding states, including member spotlight articles. 
• The monthly VAM E-News provides timely information on grant deadlines, events and exhibitions, job opportunities and upcoming conferences and workshops, as well as member news and happenings. 
• The VAM Website is the easiest way to find current information on programs and resources of all kinds, including membership, careers, Virginia museums, affinity groups, vendors of museum products and services, teacher seminars and an SOL directory of museum programs, Resource Library bibliography, handouts from educational sessions, tourism links, and state and federal advocacy. Members have access to many Members Only sections. 
• The VAM Membership Directory offers a complete contact list of all VAM institutional, individual and business members, helping VAM members connect with colleagues. The Directory of Virginia Museums is your resource to all museums, historic sites and institutions in the state. 
• The VAM Resource Library is housed in VAM’s centrally located offices in Richmond, and contains over 1,000 titles on subjects including administration, human resources, funding sources, legal guidelines, exhibition curation and design, collections care, board development, marketing and public relations, education and interpretation, advocacy, museum store management, evaluation, and results from surveys on topics such as museum salaries and technology.
