International Registrars Symosium 3 was held November 6 - 8, 2009 in Chicago, IL

Dear Colleagues:

The Registrars Committee of the American Association of Museums (RC-AAM) organized a third International Registrars Symposium (IRS3) in Chicago November 2009. The RC-AAM had previously organized two successful International Registrars' Symposium. The first took place in New Orleans in 2004. At the second meeting in Chicago in November 2007, there were 396 attendees representing 24 countries including the United States. The sessions were engaging, informative and thought-provoking.

There were two days of meetings addressing the most relevant topics affecting our field. Among the top requested topics in the IRS2 survey were:

Working with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA),
Working with Africa and Dubai,
Domestic Indemnity,
Storage Space Planning,
and much more.
