Hello--
        A small historical note here:  SFSU was certainly not the "first
educational
institution in the San Francisco Bay area to offer museology courses": that
honor goes to the long-closed Lone Mountain College (formerly San Francisco
College for Women), which had an M.A. program in museum studies.  The
program worked closely with a number of museums in the area and had a very
good reputation.  The college closed in about 1978.
