A new organization/interest group on museum history was organized last year,
and will be holding a meeting next spring for anyone interested in the
group.  The association has also formed a list for those who wish to receive
its notices.

Subject: Meeting

Hi all,

        This is to let you know that New York University and Wayne State
University are co-sponsoring a first formal meeting of the Association for
Museum History (AMH) in late February 2003.  It will be a part-day affair,
from around 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and will take place on the campus of NYU
before or after the College Art Association (CAA) annual conference which is
also in New York this year.  Bruce Altshuler, Director of NYU's Museum
Studies Program and I are coordinating the meeting, although we will be
grateful to have the assistance of others.
        For now we would like your opinion about the best day for the
meeting.  We are considering either the Wednesday before or Sunday following
the CAA conference, i.e., February 19th or February 23rd, to enable the
participation of those traveling to New York for the CAA meetings.
        I'll be following up this note with a few more concerning the AMH
meeting agenda.  At the moment we are thinking of a two-part schedule: one
would consist of either a few papers or a moderated panel discussion on the
state of museum history research; the other would consist of planning
sessions (sequential or concurrent) to create an organizational plan for the
AMH and elicit volunteers to help bring it about.  So please give the
questions of content and schedule some thought -- I'll be following up with
more specific questions as we move along.

        Finally, if you have a response concerning the date of the meeting,
please reply to the listserv address ([log in to unmask]) rather than in a
note to my or Bruce's personal e-mail addresses -- we'd like to have this
conversation be open to all.

        Best wishes,

        J.
