Hi. I'm a Master's degree student in the History department at Ohio
University, and I've thought about getting a job as part of the
archival or curatorial staff at a museum. However, we do not have a
public history program, and so I can't learn the ropes from classes.
We do have a sort of "in-house" interning program, and I intend to
participate in that.
 
But what I'd like to know is: is there a sort of basic handbook or
textbook about the field of museum studies that's pretty much the
standard work? Thanks!
