My company, The History Factory, has organized exhibitions and museums for many companies such as Shell Oil, Sears, Teneco Oil,  Pinehurst Resort and Country Club, GATX, Subaru, American College of Radiology and others.  There is information on our services as well as case studies on some
projects on our website at www.historyfact.com.

I have found that corporate exhibitions/ museums are quite different than standard museums. The message or purpose is much stronger, as the goal is normally some sort of corporate propaganda. The audiences are better defined. If anyone wants more information or has questions, I would be more
than happy to help- and if I can not help, I can put you in touch with our founder and CEO Bruce Weindruch.

I too would be interested in any professional groups for corporate museums and curators- I know of academic and archival groups, but none with the public history bent. If there is a group of people who would like to begin a group, I would be happy to help organize it.
