Museum-L, please offer input:

I have received a request from a museum colleague in London to provide
her with information about U.S. museums which have well-developed
teacher training programs, especially programs in museums that focus on
the Civil War, Lincoln, and/or the Second World War.

Also, if you know of any U.S. (or other) universities which train
teachers to use museums as an integral part of a history curriculum,
please forward that information.

Finally, if you know of any conferences on this topic (museums as an
important part of school curriculum and/or museums providing teacher
training) that will take place between August and October, 1998, please
also forward the logistics.

Thank you for your assistance,
Krista Schepis
