Welcome to the 
Community Museums Association of PEI !


_
Heritage Matters To Islanders.

Created in 1983, the Community Museums Association of Prince Edward Island (CMAPEI) is a not-for-profit organization which grew out of a need felt within the provincial museum community for stronger support services for the community museums.  From its inception, the major goal of the Association has been to upgrade the quality of museums on Prince Edward Island by providing the necessary skills and knowledge to museum operators. The movement towards high museum standards through professional development activities and the sharing of information is central to our very existence.

The Association conducts workshops, seminars and study tours;  liaises with museums, government, other agencies and the public; develops and manages a museum resource centre; initiates special projects; adjudicates special grants to community museums, and undertakes a number of special initiatives with the Island museum community.

The Association strives to develop projects which allow the museum community to work together making the maximum use of valuable time and resources. Our program includes a number of support services such as a museum advisory, access to conservation and exhibit materials at cost as well as access to a dry-mounting press and computers for upgrading labels. Unscheduled individualized professional development and training is also available to members upon requests in specific areas of museum study.
