Hi -

I am preparing a session at AASLH on personal connections to history in
museums and am looking for some working definitions, or better yet, a
definition that comes out of relevant scholarship.   Many history museums
and sites now use some variant of "personal connections" or "connecting to
the past" in their mission statements, but I have found none that define
what they mean.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
