You should try to get a copy of NAME's (National Association for Museum
Exhibition- a professional committee of the AAM) Fall 1995 Newsletter
"Exhibitionist".  One of the feature articles, "Presenting History: Democracy on
Display" (Written by Peter Liebhold), gives a summation of the various sessions
of the Symposium at Michigan.  It includes some interesting quotes by
participants as well.

I would like to know if anyone who went to the Smithsonian/UM conference
would be willing to provide a brief assessment of the role of museums in
a democratic society as determined by the conference.  I am researching the
Enola Gay controversy and compling a bibliography of sources where one might
go if interested in further pursuing this topic in a narrow and broader
sense.

I realize the tapes are now available, but time and my pocket book will not
allow me to purchase them just yet.  I would then like to cite the
conversation in a minimal way in the bibliography.  In return, if someone
is interested, I would be more than happy to send a copy of what I turn in.

Thanks!
