Dear Katherine, You might want to check out the following publication: The Accessible Museum: Model Programs of Accessibility for Disabled and Older People. Washington DC: American Association of Museums, 1992. There is also a book called The Big Foot that discusses programs for people with disabilities in British and American museums. Unfortunately I don't have the author or publication information for that book handy. Good Luck! Sincerely, Jane Woolsey Student Cooperstown Graduate Program On Fri, 13 Oct 2000, Katherine A.
