AASLH Brings Interpretation Workshop to the Oklahoma Historical Society
July 27-29, 2000

For decades the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH)
has been known as the home of excellent and affordable workshops.  This
summer, AASLH strengthens that reputation with a new workshop series
constructed by a team of national leaders in the history field.  One
offering in that series, the Interpretation Issues & Strategies workshop
will be held at the Oklahoma Historical Society in Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma, July 27-29, 2000.

Thomas A. Woods, director of Old World Wisconsin, and Candace T.
Matelic, consultant in Organizational Development and Museum
Interpretation will serve as workshop faculty.  Together they will help
participants break down the critical elements of good interpretation
from an understanding of the classic principles of interpretation to
developing a solid research foundation to creating the interpretive plan
to conducting visitor research, and then guide participants on how to
put all of the elements together.

Other workshops in the series include the Leadership Institute for
History Organizations, Collections Management and Practices, and
Interpretation Issues and Strategies.

In addition to the lead faculty, each workshop has a committee of
exceptional history professionals to develop these outstanding
workshops.  Members of the committees bring
more
to the curriculums many years of experience leading historical
organizations around the country.  They are accomplished and practiced
in their respective fields, successful teachers, authors, and creative
thinkers who break new ground in the development and redesign of new and
existing history organizations.  Each team includes individuals who are
consistently sought after for their abilities to develop quality
programming.

This new series of workshops will be offered twice a year at leading
history organizations, museums, and historic sites around the country.
The workshops address subjects in a “hands-on” environment giving
participants practical guidance that builds on existing skills and
develops new skills.  Registration cost of $185 per AASLH member
includes a notebook of reference materials along with two lunches.
