NCMC E-mail Lists
The North Carolina Museums Council maintains several opt-in e-mail lists for your use. If you would like to keep in touch with happenings and events around the state from the NCMC, you can do so via the NCMC News Announcement e-mail list. Also, if you wish, you can receive or send e-mails to others who have chosen to opt in for either the general discussion/information e-mailings (ncmcdiscussion), or individual lists for the individual museum sections.
If you would like to join any of these, simply send fill out the form below. Indicate which lists you would like to join by checking the appropriate checkbox. Note that some of these lists, noted below, are used more often than others.
NCMC NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT LIST: Periodic updates on events at museums across the state as well as alerts when the quarterly newsletter has been added to the website. This is our most popular list and emails come out every Monday. Please note that only the Council webmaster can use this list for distribution (it is not a discussion list). However, if you would prefer NOT to be on the e-mailing list and still see most of the news we issue, you can also check out our news blog site: http://ncmuseums.blogspot.com.
GENERAL NCMC DISCUSSION LIST: To USE the list, if you have signed on as a discussion list member, address your e-mail to ncmcdiscussion@ncmuseums.org. This list should ONLY be used for business and announcements relevant to the North Carolina museums family. Anyone who misuses or spams using this address will be removed from the list. This is a moderated list and inappropriate posts will not be allowed.
NCMC SECTIONS DISCUSSION LIST(S): Individual lists exist for Art, Children, History and Science.
