For information about the museum studies program at the University of
Delaware, you can contact Dr. Bryant Tolles, Director, Museum Studies
Program, Old College Hall, University of Delaware 19716 (sorry I don't
know the phone number or e-mail address). For anyone who's not familiar
with it, the program awards enrollees a certificate in museum studies,
which you get from taking 3 courses and doing an internship, either at
the University Gallery or at a local museum such as Winterthur, Hagley,
or the Historical Society of Delaware. Courses include museum
management/administration, the interpretation of cultural properties,
the history of museums, and exhibition techniques. Enrollees must
receive a degree in an academic discipline in order to receive the
certificate; most students come through the History Department, but
there are also typically students from art history, anthropology, and
occasionally horticulture (through the Longwood Program). In addition to
the Longwood Program, which provides graduate fellowships, there are
three other related fellowship programs: the Hagley Program, jointly
administered between the History Department and the Eleutherian
Mills-Hagley Foundation (PO Box 3630, Wilmington, Delaware 19807;
302-658-2400), which is of interest to students in american history
and/or the history of technology; the Winterthur Program, jointly
