*General listserv information*
AAMG@groups.io serves the academic museum/gallery community and was initially developed by Dr. Stefan Sommer on the Yahoo! Groups platform (2008 – 2017) for the Association of Academic Museums & Galleries. The listserv was migrated by the AAMG board to Groups.io in August 2017. Paid members of AAMG receive an invitation to join the list upon either joining or renewing membership. Non-members of AAMG are approved for membership on a case by case basis. Membership in AAMG is strongly encouraged as a condition of membership on the list. Please visit aamg-us.org for more information.

2. Only send messages of general interest to the group. To reply directly to the person who posts a message, manually type their address in the “to” line of your message, otherwise the message will go to all subscribers. If your message is more appropriate for the individual recipient than for the whole group, you are strongly encouraged not to forward it to AAMG@groups.io.
3. Individual users may not use the list for commercial solicitations. Current AAMG Corporate Members may post a maximum of four (4) interest-related messages per month to the listserv.
