is pleased to announce
our new
Heritage
Interpretation Reference Book- Volume I
“40 Years a Heritage
Interpreter”
A reference collection
of ideas, handouts and articles
based on 40 years
teaching and doing heritage interpretation.
I
am pleased to present Volume I of my reference collection of ideas,
handouts and articles based on 40 years of teaching and doing heritage
interpretation projects, seminars, training workshops, and having articles
published in various interpretive publications.
This new book will also be used in our Heritage Interpretation Training Center as a main reference manual
for our diversity of college level heritage interpretation courses.
Note: It is the
intent of this publication to allow other interpreters or interpretive trainers to
freely use and copy any of these documents, handouts or articles for their own interpretive training and to help advance the interpretive
profession. Please reference any
documents you may use for these purposes.
Use the ideas and information presented here and pass it on. John
Veverka.
