Call for Museum Studies Citations

Museological literature is often under-utilized and difficult to locate because published works appear in diverse disciplines and are not indexed by one source.  To help address this gap, the Smithsonian Institution created and maintains the Museum Studies Database (www.siris.si.edu).  The Database contains theses, dissertations and major papers written on museological topics, in English, at the master and doctoral levels.  The citations focus on topics that investigate museum theory and practice, or that are disciplinary or interdisciplinary-based inquiries related to museum issues (i.e. museum studies, folklore, history, anthropology, arts management, public history, museum education, law, etc...).  If you or your university department have citations to contribute, please send the following: Name of the author, title of dissertation, date, degree level, university department or program in which the work was done, the source where someone could access a copy, and other information, such as abstract, if available.  Please e-mail, fax or mail to:  Tracie Sam, Smithsonian Center for Education and Museum Studies, MRC 427, A&I Room 2235, Washington, D.C. 20560-0427 USA or Fax: 202-357-3346 or  E-mail: [log in to unmask]
