Annual Meeting Plenary Speaker 

Kaman Hillenburg, Collections Manager, Evansville Museum of Arts, History & Science
Friday, April 22, 2021 | 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. (EST)

Kaman Hillenburg’s passion for preservation and continuous learning culminated in her founding of a regional professional development organization of the Southwestern Indiana Collections Connection Association (SICCA). Founded in 2014, SICCA’s mission is to provide no-cost, collections care related professional development opportunities, and to promote networking and institution collaborations among members. SICCA currently consists of over 50 cultural organizations from Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois. The organization offers professional development opportunities such as an annual meeting, workshop/lecture, lunch/dinner networking, and field trips, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, SICCA shifted its gears and offered virtual programs every month that aimed to help members navigate through the challenges imposed by the pandemic while checking-in on each other’s mental wellbeing.

In her keynote, Hillenburg will reflect on her effort in establishing SICCA and how this small but mighty regional professional development organization promoted a greater sense of unity among cultural institutions in this region while advocating for collections best practices and preservation.

About the speaker:
Kaman Hillenburg is the Collections Manager at the Evansville Museum of Arts, History & Science in Evansville, Indiana. She maintains a general collection of over 40,000 objects including fine art, photographs, natural history specimens, historic documents, anthropological, and historic artifacts. In 2017 she spearheaded a multiphase inventory project of over 14,800 objects at the Museum’s off-site storage facility. She currently serves as a board member with the Association of Midwest Museums and is a member of the Collections Review Committee at Historic New Harmony in Indiana. From 2017-2020 Hillenburg also served as a board member with the Society of Indiana Archivists.
