Hi Collette,

There was a panel offering on grief by three different museums at 2000 AAM annual conference in Baltimore. One museum is in Dallas, which has the archival information on the assassination of JFK and the other two are the Oklahoma Museum and Littleton Museum in Colorado. There is an
art historian doing research on roadside monuments. If that is of interest, email me  off list and I will dig up her contact information.

Hope this helps.
