Tim,

There are many of us out here offering the services you describe.  If you
are looking for good networking opportunities, there is a Field Service
Alliance that will meet the day before the AASLH meeting starts in
Baltimore (the end of this month.)  There is also a Field Service Alliance
listserve; for more information on that, contact John Harris at the
Indiana Historical Society <[log in to unmask]>

Many state museum associations also offer these services and we also have
a list.  You can subscribe to it at

wondering

> I am interested in discussing trends with other states that have similar
