What We Are,
What We Do
The stated purpose of the North Carolina Museums Council (NCMC) is to
enhance public education by improving the administrative, interpretive,
and collections practices of museums, historic sites, science centers
and related facilities in North Carolina. NCMC also strives to
stimulate public support for the work performed by these facilities, and
to provide a forum in which Council members can exchange ideas, as well as foster
cooperation and improved communication with the communities they serve.
The NCMC began in December 4, 1963, when 35 museum
professionals met in downtown Raleigh at the Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel
and proposed the establishment of an organization that would connect
colleagues throughout the state and promote their institutions
regionally and nationally.
The leading gathering and educational opportunity presented by the NCMC
is its Annual Meeting and Conference, held in March each year in
various locations around North Carolina or nearby. The Council also conducts its
necessary business, presents its annual awards, and offers numerous
networking opportunities during this gathering.
As members and visitors can see elsewhere on this site, NCMC also
gathers and provides information on programs such as FOCoS, workshops,
grants, internships, job openings and other services for its members.
It is entirely operated by its volunteer officers and Board (committee
chairs, section chairs and others).
