For the first time ever, Robert Wittman Inc. is offering a five day seminar to the public that will focus on the practical application of investigative techniques to recover stolen art and cultural property. This seminar is not an art history or appreciation course; it focuses on real industry career opportunities in the fields of national and international investigation, art law, insurance, appraisal, museum security, conservation, and art financial services. The emphasis is on practical application in careers in the industry, no professors... just professionals.

Angela Zusman

Left Coast Press

October 2010

Angela Zusman offers an informative guidebook with step-by-step directions for planning and implementing intergenerational oral history projects, using youth to interview elders. An expert on these programs, Zusman uses her experiences and those of other oral historians to show how community projects are organized, youthful historians located and trained, interviews conducted, and the project archived for future community needs. Included are a variety of sample documents and case studies designed to ease the process for the uninitiated.
