I'm happy to say that I was in line at 6:30am...was the 12th person in
line...and when the polls opened at 7:00am...the issues began shortly
there after with flow of people and machines scanning and not
beeping...or beeping and not scanning...so by the time I left at
7:30am...I started to pray that my vote counted.

I'd like to echo Deb's comments that this thread is not appropriate for a Museum discussion list that enjoys International subscription. Please, American cousins, exercise your franchise if you are able to do so, but please, keep the traffic on this list museum-related.
I don't recall any mention of Canada's recent federal election on this list, nor discussion of elections in any number of other democracies around the world. Let's keep it that way.

Dearest members, please let us remember that this is an INTERNATIONAL
list, and to my knowledge, only one country is holding elections
today. While voting is an important right for anyone regardless of
nationality or location, I think it is extrememly off-topic for this
list and urge people to save their encouragement to vote for more
relevant venues of discussion.

Speaking from a north-of-the-border perspective... I am glad to hear that
there is encouragement to vote, Tim. I wish we did speak up more about the
Canadian electoral process. If we were more active politically, I think that
the Conservatives would not be able to make the cuts to funding they have
progressively made over time. Hopefully, the activity in the electoral
process anticipated in the US will eventually spill over the 49th parallel.
Our voting record is abysmal!
I am glad to see political discussions, since the work of museums is
ultimately political in nature. Perhaps by discussing how the political
process impacts museums, we can learn from each other. Recently I went to
the AASLH Conference in Rochester NY... there is much we can learn from our
American Cousins about greasing the political wheel to accomplish our
missions.
Vote on, US! Let's keep the door open to exchange and shared perspectives!

Tim,
The reason I sent the original post this morning was to be mindful of the
fact that many museums and historic sites has very tight staffing and to
encourage supervisors and co-workers to be supportive of those who may run
late with the large vote today in the USA.
If someone from England or Canada or Brazil posted a message with similar
scope I would encourage that too - and the same goes with any discussion of
current events, such as the receding economies around the world, that may
affect museums and preservation even if in a more peripheral way.
If we are to effectively communicate culture, art, and history to our
visitors and colleagues we have to also be aware of the dynamics of current
events and issues that are in the collective consciousness of everyday life.
Often History is a mirror, as it were, of the present.
Cheers!
Dave

This is a partial excerpt from someone of strong political views. Ignore who the person is, but enjoy the message. It's possible, just possible, this could be the tide that turns for the arts.
"What will it be like to have a smart president? Science, banished for eight years, will return. Imagine supporting our country's greatest minds as they seek to cure illness, discover new forms of energy, and work to save the planet. I know, pinch me.
"We may, just possibly, also see a time of refreshing openness, enlightenment and creativity. The arts and the artists will not be seen as the enemy. Perhaps art will be explored in order to discover the greater truths. When FDR was ushered in with his landslide in 1932, what followed was Frank Capra and Preston Sturgis, Woody Guthrie and John Steinbeck, Dorothea Lange and Orson Welles. All week long I have been inundated with media asking me, "gee, Mike, what will you do now that Bush is gone?" Are they kidding? What will it be like to work and create in an environment that nurtures and supports film and the arts, science and invention, and the freedom to be whatever you want to be? Watch a thousand flowers bloom! We've entered a new era, and if I could sum up our collective first thought of this new era, it is this: Anything Is Possible."--Michael Moore, 11/05/08

I'm trying to learn something about museum practice as a future
colleague.This would be great if these were your ideas but quoting Michael
Moore on our list serv? Yesterday was an exception to the rule, yet this is
a international group, why add another thread from what happened yesterday.
Here I don't see the relevance of Michael Moore as a starting point for
museological discussion. While these are not the *only* databases indexing
material on this topic area, I would think a political forum would be
better.

While I do hope that there is a renaissance of sorts, it has always been my
impression that the arts flourish especially in times of perceived
oppression. People turn to creativity when they are not given freedom to
express their thoughts overtly in their day to day life.
I am concerned that people around the globe seem to be expecting Obama to
walk on water and save us all from the things that ail society. I wonder how
the upcoming administration will deal with the problems that currently exist
and will yet arise. We have to have hope, but statements such as the one
below give me reason to be concerned - making Obama a Messiah personality
holds the potential for even bigger let downs when we realize that the
promises Obama has made cannot be implemented as quickly or as fully as
people seem to expect.
I just hope that we are keeping it real.

This is a partial excerpt from someone of strong political views. Ignore
who the person is, but enjoy the message. It's possible, just possible,
this could be the tide that turns for the arts.
"What will it be like to have a smart president? Science, banished for eight

seek to cure illness, discover new forms of energy, and work to save the

"We may, just possibly, also see a time of refreshing openness,
enlightenment and creativity. The arts and the artists will not be seen as
the enemy. Perhaps art will be explored in order to discover the greater
truths. When FDR was ushered in with his landslide in 1932, what followed
was Frank Capra and Preston Sturgis, Woody Guthrie and John Steinbeck,
Dorothea Lange and Orson Welles. All week long I have been inundated with
media asking me, "gee, Mike, what will you do now that Bush is gone?" Are
they kidding? What will it be like to work and create in an environment that
nurtures and supports film and the arts, science and invention, and the
freedom to be whatever you want to be? Watch a thousand flowers bloom! We've

Joshua,
If the locks still exist and are operable, including the corresponding catch
location on the case, then having keys made is the best option. If not, you
can make soft wooden wedges (pine or yellow poplar) that will keep the doors
closed by friction. However, they are a bit of a pain as they have to be
found when the door is opened (as invariably they fall), and have to be
re-inserted each time the door is closed. Generally, the bottom of the door
is the best location for the wedges. I advise not attaching the wedges to
the clock.

Dear Colleagues -
This year's North Carolina Preservation Consortium (NCPC) annual conference will address the issues of cultural respect. Objects of material culture often hold intangible values for the community of origin. Do collection institution leaders honor these values with policies of respect and community collaboration? Some artifacts may not be intended for use or view by the public. Do collection institution caretakers place restrictions on access and exhibition? Some communities may wish to use artifacts in traditional ceremonies and rituals. Do collection institution stewards approve such requests? Some communities believe their cultural objects should deteriorate naturally. Do preservation and conservation professionals permit this to happen? We often profess to champion diversity in our collections. Do we respect multicultural perspectives on the preservation and conservation of heritage collections? Is there a moral imperative to preserve and conserve books, manuscripts, documents, photographs, film, sound recordings, art, and artifacts? Please join us for presentations and discussions on these and other issues of cultural respect and heritage preservation.
This conference is being held at the Friday Center at UNC Chapel Hill on November 20, 2008. Details and registration may be found at http://www.ncpreservation.org/.
Thank you,
- Anne

Is this election matter to talk about anywhere include in areas that are "assumed" to be unrelated?
I would say yes because all the reason that I believe all of you already memorize for the last months.
People realize how important this election is, they volunterary knock on doors (literary) to push people to vote since early in the morning of november 4th.
people from the other part of the world realize how important this election is, my father in Indonesia spent his day (night in USA) watching the news to see who's the next president.
this is a discussion list that enjoys International subscription, and so as this election.
I hope Obama can really give the change that america needs. Congratulation to Obama, and congratulation to all of you american citizen.
ps: i'm not a citizen and I can't vote, but if I can i'll vote for the new guy
peace,
Nissa

Tim,
The reason I sent the original post this morning was to be mindful of the fact that many museums and historic sites has very tight staffing and to encourage supervisors and co-workers to be supportive of those who may run late with the large vote today in the USA.
If someone from England or Canada or Brazil posted a message with similar scope I would encourage that too - and the same goes with any discussion of current events, such as the receding economies around the world, that may affect museums and preservation even if in a more peripheral way.
If we are to effectively communicate culture, art, and history to our visitors and colleagues we have to also be aware of the dynamics of current events and issues that are in the collective consciousness of everyday life. Often History is a mirror, as it were, of the present.
Cheers!

Dearest members, please let us remember that this is an INTERNATIONAL
list, and to my knowledge, only one country is holding elections
today. While voting is an important right for anyone regardless of
nationality or location, I think it is extrememly off-topic for this
list and urge people to save their encouragement to vote for more
relevant venues of discussion.
Respectfully,
Deb Fuller

I have a couple of clocks like that. One I keep open with a small sign
explaining that visitors are free to look inside and see what the weights
and case interior look like, but please don't touch. (The clocks are located
in a large hall where people are free to walk right up to them.) The other I
use a long strip of mylar with double sided tape wrapped around the waist of
the clock just above the lower door hinge. The door is warped so I don't put
much pressure against it but the mylar strip helps to keep it closed and
most people don't even notice it is there.

The doors on some of our tall-case clocks like to open up over time; the

Might someone here have a suggestion to encourage them to stay shut but
still be able to be opened on a weekly basis?

Hi All:
We received a grant for distance learning equipment and are finally getting
around to the onsite install and thinking about the distributing of the
endpoints to schools. My question is for any of you who do distance learning
programs, what are your arrangements for "loaning" the endpoints? Do you do
a loan agreement for a certain term? Do you send them out via UPS for the
program booked and then back again when done? What works best? If you could
also give me an idea of what you are currently charging schools for a
distance learning program, I would appreciate that information as well. You
can reply off list if you prefer.
Many Thanks,
Jamie Smith, Director FASNY Museum of Firefighting

Museological Review Issue 14
'Cultural Property: Ownership, Restitution and Retention and its Impact on Museum Collections, their Care, Display and Interpretation'
The Museological Review, edited by the PhD students of the Department of Museum Studies based at the University of Leicester, has launched an annual online journal. It is a forum for students and practitioners to share and debate innovative perspectives on museums and publishes original research in the field of museum studies and allied subject areas such as cultural studies, archaeology, conservation science, architecture, art history and social sciences, from a range of multi-disciplinary perspectives. We are seeking contributors from the international research community, to share experimental and creative ideas to cultivate debate and enhance museum practice. We actively encourage new thinking with the aim that the Museological Review will share experimental research and creative ideas within a constructive environment.
This issue will focus on the ownership, restitution and retention of cultural property and it’s impact on museum collections; which includes related issues of care and conservation, display, exhibition, interpretation and visitor reception, as well as cultural diversity, representation and exclusion.
We invite abstracts, of no more than 300 words in length, for papers in English that explore these issues. The Museological Review is targeted towards PhD students from all over the world, but we would also welcome contributions from other researchers and professionals.
Please send an abstract of your proposed paper – along with a 100-word biography describing your current area of research or position of employment - by email to the Editors ([log in to unmask]), or by post to the address given below, by February 1st, 2009. Please remember to include your email address and/or contact details as well as details of your institutional affiliation, if applicable. Successful contributors will be notified by email before March 1st, 2009 and final papers are due September 30th, 2009. All abstracts submitted will be subject to a rigorous selection process to maintain academic quality. We regret that we will be unable to accept all abstracts submitted.

Can anyone recommend a good PA system for outdoor walking tours? This
would be for a guide leading groups of 20-30 people.
I've been given a short list of portable PA systems to review, but they
all have relatively heavy speakers. Even a 5 lb speaker can be a lot
when you are carrying it around during a 90 minute walking tour - and
none of them give the guide a hands free situation.

<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve been given a short list of portable PA systems to

The Adams Museum & House, Inc. (AM&H) is a private, non-profit history and educational complex that operates two museums: The Adams Museum and Historic Adams House. Currently, the AM&H is in the process of opening the Homestake Adams Research and Cultural Center to house the massive Homestake Mining Co. Collection, the Henry J. Frawley Legal Collection and the Adams Museum and Historic Adams House archival collections. These three organizations form a historic campus in the National Historic Landmark community of Deadwood, SD.
The mission of the non-profit AM&H is to identify, preserve, collect, interpret and promote the history and culture of Deadwood and the surrounding Black Hills for the benefit of members of the Northern Black Hills community, visitors to the area and researchers. We achieve this goal through extensive public programming ranging from school tours and musical performances to workshops in the Victorian arts and haunted hayrides. With a core professional staff of nine individuals with varied talents and backgrounds, our museums are bustling year-round with locals and tourists from around the world. The Adams Museum and Historic Adams House boast a combined annual visitation of nearly 100,000 people, which pushes us to constantly update and rotate exhibits and make our museums accessible to the greatest number of people. Additionally, the AM&H regularly partners with other museums in the Black Hills and provides historical research to entities around the world. It truly is a premier history institution.

We use http://www.chattervox.com/ Chattervox speakers. Lightweight, can
be worn over the shoulder or waist on a strap. Battery operated. We
use them indoors so I'm not sure how their volume would cut through the
background noise of the outdoors, but I haven't found them lacking.
Something to consider.
Best,

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] portable PA systems for walking tours?
Can anyone recommend a good PA system for outdoor walking tours? This
would be for a guide leading groups of 20-30 people.
I've been given a short list of portable PA systems to review, but they
all have relatively heavy speakers. Even a 5 lb speaker can be a lot
when you are carrying it around during a 90 minute walking tour - and
none of them give the guide a hands free situation.

I just bought a "Pignose Lil' PA" system, which has a strap so you can carry
it over your shoulder, but you still have to hold the microphone. You can
purchase a wireless lavelier separately, I believe. I've been happy with it
so far.

A good unit to look at is Voicesaver from Califone, they come in two sizes; model 282 and model 285, both are very portable. they have clips on the back so you can clip to a belt or you can buy a strap to wear it over your shoulder. they have either a headset microphone or a lapel microphone choice, I don't know which it come with, but check out their site: http://www.califone.com/portable.php
The National Air and Space Museum and the Udvar-Hazy Center docents use these on their guided tours.

Can anyone recommend a good PA system for outdoor walking tours? This would be for a guide leading groups of 20-30 people.
I’ve been given a short list of portable PA systems to review, but they all have relatively heavy speakers. Even a 5 lb speaker can be a lot when you are carrying it around during a 90 minute walking tour – and none of them give the guide a hands free situation.

Subject: Searching for Kiosk content design firm
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
We need to take some text, photo and flash content and have it coded to
web page format for use in a kiosk with touch screen.
Does anyone know of a firm that can provide web page design who also has
experience creating content for museum kiosks? Preferably one you have
worked with before and been happy with the results.
We have designed all the content. We just need someone to code it for us
in a short time frame. It would also be nice to work with a company that
has experience creating kiosks and could help us with the overall layout
of the content pages.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Patrick McQuillan

Hi Joshua,
First question is - is the case level? If it isn't, it should be for the clock to work properly. Plus, if it is level, the door may not open on its own.
I agree that if you have no key, having a new key is the best option. I would contact a clock maker, seller or repairer and see if they ahve any spare keys. Like keys to desks of a certain period, they are often interchangeable... not complicated. The likelihood that there is a key out there that would fit your door is pretty good. I realize it is time, but that is better than "rigging" something that may damage the case in the process.
There is also a company called Time Savers in Arizona that is a big spare parts company for all sorts of clocks. I found a bar for a swinger clock there and it was only a few dollars for the part. Their sales staff may be able to assist you.

Hope this helps!

Dear Patrick,
We are currently working with a company called Museion Studios. According
to your description this is right up their alley. We are very happy with
with what they are designing and our results! They are currently designing
a kiosk for us with an interactive lunar program, among other things.
Their phone number is 319-573-2416 and you'd most likely want to speak with
Sasha Gorbach.
Hope this helps,
Kat Neilson

Subject: Free Access for persons with disabilities : Guidelines
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hullo Museum-l'ers
Could you please offer me some assistance here' The museum is currently
hosting an exhibition of works of persons with disabilities. The organisers
of the exhibition negotiated free access for persons with disabilities for
the duration of the exhibition.
A number of issues have arisen for which I asked the organisation concerned
and my management to provide guidelines. Naturally none were forthcomimg and
for raising the isssue a got handed the task of developing the guidelines.
Since the issue is urgent and I need something in place for the front of
house staff this weekend when there is no-one present for them to refer
difficult issues to.
We are well aware of the issues with assstane animals and have no problems
there. The issue is with the human assistants. While I have no problem with
one assistant I need guidance where the person insists the whole family
should enter free because they are all `assisting'.
The second is how to define / identify a person with a disability. While I
am extremely short-sighted and have an extreme stigmatism for which I
require spectacles whose cost far outstrips the medical aid limits, I am
still not classified as disabled in terms of the revenue services in order
to be able to claim the shortfall. People who would not think twice about
paying under normal circumstances are now claiming they are persons with
disabilities
While it is easy to identify a person who is physically challenged, how to
you deal with persons claiming they are bipolar, manically depressed, etc.
What is the position with these roman chariot-like devices that can move
very rapidly?
I know these issues have been discussed here but I was hoping that some of
my fellows out there had an easy-to-use set of guidelines I can give my poor
front of house staff who sit in the firing line on the weekend dealing with
an issue which management has failed to think through thoroughly before
implementation.

I would say, very briefly, that you can't ask someone whose disability is
not visible who is saying he/she is disabled. You just have to let them go,
and hope no one is abusing the situation.

We are going through some of the same reflections, Marianne. I don't think
that we have adequately addressed the issue.
From what I can see in your question, your greatest problem is declining
attendance. When attendance drops, we tend to self-examine, thinking that it
is our marketing that is the problem, and people tend to look first at the
sign in front of their building. The second approach is the Field of Dreams
mantra: If we build it, they will come.
I believe that the answer lies more in the mission: who is it that your
organization wants to impact. If you are clear about who you are trying to
reach out to, then you can answer the question by addressing the target
audience's needs. If you are already meeting their needs, then you go for
increased marketing - the people just aren't aware enough of what you offer.
If you aren't meeting the needs, then it would be appropriate to address the
development of exhibits and educational programs.
The problem I am identifying in my museum is factors outside of my sphere of
direct influence: we can have the greatest exhibits that meet needs, and we
can have the marketing in place, however, economic concerns (the cost of
travel and availability of leisure spending) are impacting our attendance.
That presents a different set of issues, and we need to re-evaluate our
measures of success, given the circumstances. Can we put more effort into
the quality of our collection and feel that we are succeeding even if people
are not attending at the moment? Can we use this time to collect stories, do
more outreach to our elderly population? Perhaps excite their memory through
our collection?
I'd like to hear more input on this topic as well. What have people had
success with?

Look for creative and strategic low cost/no cost marketing opportunities.
Some strategies that have worked at our institution:
We approached our local public radio station about one of our monthly
archaeology lectures, and this has evolved into a regular monthly interview
with the featured speaker the morning of the evening program. New people
have attended as a result and more people know about the issue and our
programs even if they don't attend.
We developed a relationship with a locally owned bank which evolved into
their sponsoring regular ads in the newspaper for a monthly kids
program. They get good PR and we get large, highly effective ads for free.
The bank actually prepares and submits the ads to the paper and pays for
them directly after getting content information from us.
We have asked visitors who have had great experiences at our museum to
write a letter to the editor. A couple of the letters on two different
occasions were so good that we used the opportunity to get a reporter to do
a feature story on the exhibit and in another case worked with the
editorial page editor and received a very positive editorial. In both
instances the reporters were receptive to doing a story since they had seen
the letters to the editor from visitors.

<font size=3>Look for creative and strategic low cost/no cost marketing
opportunities. Some strategies that have worked at our institution:<br>
<br>
We approached our local public radio station about one of our monthly
archaeology lectures, and this has evolved into a regular monthly
interview with the featured speaker the morning of the evening
program. New people have attended as a result and more people know
about the issue and our programs even if they don't attend.<br>
<br>
We developed a relationship with a locally owned bank which evolved into
their sponsoring regular ads in the newspaper for a monthly kids
program. They get good PR and we get large, highly effective ads
for free. The bank actually prepares and submits the ads to the paper and
pays for them directly after getting content information from us.<br>
<br>
We have asked visitors who have had great experiences at our museum to
write a letter to the editor. A couple of the letters on two different
occasions were so good that we used the opportunity to get a reporter to
do a feature story on the exhibit and in another case worked with the
editorial page editor and received a very positive editorial. In
both instances the reporters were receptive to doing a story since they
had seen the letters to the editor from visitors.<br>

Dear Elkhart County Historical Museum person (unidentified)
Yes, record them! I sense however that you are looking for a fuller answer? Perhaps you could let us know what exactly what it is that you want to know e.g.
1. Should the volunteers "self certify" their hours or should an independent person do so.?
2. Should the hours be recorded on a simple pro forma or recorded via a more sophisticated time recording system - subject to budget of course!
3. Should the hours be analysed by activity?
4. Should volunteer hours be converted to Full Time Equivalents (FTE's)?
Are those the kind of questions you are seeking answers to?
Kind Regards,
Jerry Symonds - Senior Internal Auditor

Dear Marianne,
This sounds more like a debate on museum income allocation than on marketing
resource allocation per se.
Any marketing/advertising executive will advise you that there is no point
in hyping up a poor product: if you can't deliver on what your promise then
you will do more harm advertising than not advertising at all...so I would
definitely counsel against sacrificing valuable dollars on exhibition
quality and pumping it into ad spend instead as you'll then lose both ways!
Evaluating the effectiveness of advertising in the museum/heritage sector is
really hard: my best advice to you is that IF you conduct any market
research, to include questions on how the visitors polled got to know about
the exhibition: if free press pulls in more visitors than paid advertising,
then that's giving you a steer - or vice versa! If NEITHER free nor paid
advertising appear to have much effect on attendance then you might consider
either (a) improving the quality of the advertising or (b) spending the
money more wisely on the build of your exhibition! If the quality is good,
then the message will get around by good old "word of mouth" and that costs
nothing and is pretty darn effective!
Good luck!
Regards,
Jerry Symonds

Our Collections Committee, which includes an attorney, is meeting to
discuss returning a loaned collection to the lender's heirs. I have a
will that has not been updated or probated. The heirs are the
co-representatives of the estate. The loaned collection is not mentioned
in the will. I to wanting provide information to my Committee on how
other museums have handled this issue. How many museums require a will
be probated? Besides the will, do you require any other information?
Thank you for your help!
Sincerely,

The Ties that Bond: Museums Making Connections
No matter what type of institution we work at, there is always the issue of keeping ourselves fresh and up to date. We strive to find new research, programs, or collections to keep ourselves exciting to the public. But what happens when the good ideas run out, or the old ones become tired? How do museums connect to old and new constituents? To other non-profits? To the past and to the future? What new connections has your institution made lately? We are currently accepting ideas for session proposals and papers. The deadline for proposals is December 12, 2008.
Please send information to Sarah Hagye, Wagner Farm, 1510 Wagner Rd., Glenview IL, 60025 or email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
Join us as we learn from each other and explore new connections, especially the ones we may never have thought to make.

By "The heirs are the co-representatives of the estate," do you mean they are co-executors?
Is so, then yes, the collection should be returned to them. The only information you should need is 1), the collection was on loan to you from the deceased, and 2) the people you are handing the collection over to are responsible for settling the affairs of the deceased. The will, probated or not, shouldn't be your concern at all.

We use a form view into an MSAccess database of linked tables.
Everyone, paid and unpaid, completes this form at the end of their work
stint.
The tables target the task, the project, the person and their time spent
on each specific task. We do it to find out how ,long certain tasks
really take and try to get a handle on timing for future projects, but
it is also really useful for volunteers or students doing class
projects, because the queries allow them to extract their own
contribution, providing a list of their work for a semester or their
hours for an employer requiring their staff to do volunteer work.
I can send you our structure if this is the sort of thing you are
looking for.

Hi Kristin,
We require a copy of the death certificate and a copy of the will, or at
least that section which pertains to the items in our possession. Rarely
have we found that the will specifies the items on to loan to us, but there
is usually some section which says (in non-legalese) "anything else is the
responsibility of _________" or executors. We also have a copy of something
to prove who they (either the heirs or executors) are, namely a drivers
license. All of this is kept in the hardcopy file, especially if the items
are to be kept at the museum. We close the old loan and issue a new loan
agreement or deed of gift with the 'heirs'. We haven't had many problems
with this.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Returning Loaned Objects to Heirs
Our Collections Committee, which includes an attorney, is meeting to
discuss returning a loaned collection to the lender's heirs. I have a
will that has not been updated or probated. The heirs are the
co-representatives of the estate. The loaned collection is not mentioned
in the will. I to wanting provide information to my Committee on how
other museums have handled this issue. How many museums require a will
be probated? Besides the will, do you require any other information?
Thank you for your help!
Sincerely,

Some museums offer the assistant free admission and a discount for
accompanying friends and family. Others, to promote good will and customer
relations, admit at no charge all those accompanying the assistant or person
with a disability, figuring that people will contribute revenue in retail
(e.g., gift shop, cafeteria).
I have taken the following information from The Americans with Disabilities
Act Title II Technical Assistance Manual covering Public Accommodations and
Commercial Facilities (pages 9-13). The term "disability" means, with
respect to an individual means any one of the following:
1. individuals who have a physical or mental impairment that substantially
limits one or more of the major life activities (e.g., seeing, hearing,
dressing, working, cooking, cleaning, hygiene, leisure activities)
e.g., cosmetic disfigurement, anatomical loss (amputation) or
physiological disorders or conditions affecting one or more of the following
body systems, neurological, musculoskeletal, special sense organs
like speech, vocal cords, soft palate, tongue, respiratory, cardiovascular,
reproductive, digestive, genitourinary, hemic / lymphatic, skin and
endocrine. Examples of physical impairments might include, but be not
limited to, orthopedic, visual, speech, hearing impairments, cerebral
palsy, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart
disease, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, drug addition and alcoholism.
Mental impairments include mental pr psychological disorders such as mental
retardation, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental illness and
specific learning disabilities.
A person with a minor vision impairment such as 20/40 vision does not have
a substantial impairment of the major life activity of seeing. A person who
can walk for 10 miles continuously is not substantially limited in walking
merely because, on the 11th mile, s/he begins to experience pain, because
most people would not be able to walk 11 miles without experiencing some
discomfort.
2. a record of such an impairment (a protected group)
e.g., a person who has a history of an impairment that substantially
limited a major life activity but who has recovered, might include people
who have histories of mental or emotional illness, drug addition,
alcoholism, hear disease or cancer.
3. being regarded as having such impairment
e.g., individuals who are regarded by a public entity as having
physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life
activity, whether or not the individual actually has an impairment. Three
typical situations are covered by this category:
a. someone with mild diabetes, controlled by medication, is barred by the
staff of a private summer camp from participation in certain sports because
of the diabetes. Even though the diabetes does not substantially limit a
major life activity, the individual is protected under the ADA because s/he
is treated as though s/he does.
b. an individual who has a physical or mental impairment that
substantially limits major life activities ONLY as a result of the attitudes
of others towards the impairment (e.g. a three year old child has a facial
disfigurement and has been refused admittance to a day care program on the
grounds that her presence might upset others...the disfigurement does not
substantially limit major life activities, but the attitudes of others
towards the disfigurement does.
c. an individual who has no impairments, but who is treated by a public
accommodation as having an impairment that substantially limits a major life
activity (e.g., an adult is refused admittance in an academic program or
membership into a special interest group because people believe rumors that
the individual is infected with HIV/AIDS virus. Even though these rumors
are untrue, the individual is protected under the ADA, because the
individual is being discriminated against.
As has been mentioned within this listserv, one cannot ask someone if they
have a disability; rely on trust and honesty. If someone uses the system,
at least you provided excellence in customer service!
When you write about the roman chariot like devices, are you referring to
scooters? Scooters for home use usually go about 6 miles per hour, the
scooters used in grocery store go about 2- 2/12 miles per hour and scooters
used at theme parks are programmable, they can be adjusted. They are set at
the factory but can be changed to meet the needs of where they are being
used by staff, not visitors.
Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me off line.

Dear All,
Please excuse any cross postings.
I know this subject has probably been discussed before, however I have been unsuccessful at finding any information through the archives.
Is anyone willing to share their policies involving the security of collections storage, specifically who on staff has access, do you have different levels of access, do you allow volunteers to have access?? If you do allow volunteers access to storage is it unaccompanied?? Also, how many of you use log in sheets in your storage room.
Any information is appreciated.? Please feel free to contact off list at [log in to unmask]
Thanks!

I can say that I have worked in pretty much every level of collections storage security and it all depends on different factors. If you have electronic RFID type entry, it will create a log so there is really no need for paper. Sign in sheets can be useful, but they are also easily ignored if someone is up to something.
Who has access depends on who needs access, which is dependent on how many collections and storerooms you have and who needs what from each. If you have a room of nothing but Mexican ceramics, a paintings curator likely won't need access. If everything is in one big area, it is easier to monitor and easier to have volunteers and be accompanied.
I personally really do not like volunteers and interns to have unaccompanied access, it is asking for theft or unreported damages (I have seen this repeatedly). If there is a separate room that things can be taken to, like a work room, this can minimize some of the risks while leaving you able to leave the room to do your own work.
If minitering entrance and exit is vital, consider cameras as well. Noone really wants to be spied on the whole time they work, but a camera can give insight at the door in case of incidents ranging from theft to coffee spill.

This is an interesting discussion and one that we have frequently with museums and historic houses that participate in AASLH's Performance Management program. Helping institutions determine how to allocate precious resources (e.g. time and money) in order to improve their position with visitors and increase visitation is what the program is all about. You can read more at http://www.aaslh.org/perfmanagement.htm
Yes, the fee is steep for small institutions but we are finding that private foundations as well as some state humanities councils and state museum grants programs are very receptive to awarding funding for participation in the program.

Subject: Collections of Closing Museum
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
This is sent from the Curator of my museum, her email is [log in to unmask]
Dear Museum-L,
Does anyone know what obligations to collections museums are under if
they have to close? I looked in Marie Malaro's museum collection
legal book but didn't find anything dealing with a museum closure.
Our private non-profit museum plans to merge with a national monument
visitor center when we raise the building funds. The original plan
was for it to be a combined museum and visitor center but it is
unknown how our collections will be handled as the merger takes
place. We want to have a plan if part or all the collections are not
transferred.
I'm trying to establish what our obligations are to be able
to inform the transition committee. I would assume we would try to
find homes for things with other museums but a lot of our stuff is so
technical that may be difficult!
You may contact me on or off list.

First off, check the State of Washington regulations on the disposal of assets of a non-profit organization. Some years back, when I was an officer of a Wisconsin non-profit organization, I received a booklet from the Office of the Wisconsin Secretary of State which indicated that, upon dissolution, a non-profit's assets could only be distributed to other non-profits. Unless the officers and representatives of the museum want to be liable for taxes on items disposed of without regard to the relevant State of Washington laws, this would be the first step.
Perhaps AAM, AASLH or state or regional organizations could offer some advice. In the current economic situation with both private and public sector support being reduced, it's likely there will be more mergers and museum closings. This might make an interesting program at an annual meeting, assuming there is enough similarity in the way the different states regulate this process.

Welcome to this edition of DINOSAURNEWS - the international Dinosaur Webzine
with bite!
This Week's Headlines: (For the FULL STORY visit the NEWS section of the
webzine at this address: http://www.dinosaurnews.org )
** Jurassic Park Novelist Dies
The real breakthrough in the book was Crichton's ingenious intellectual
synthesis, the way he created an amazingly plausible story out of a couple
of different strands of then-new science
** Dinosaur invasion a museum first
Dinosaur Dynasty is a huge dinosaur exhibit straight from China, so these
are fossils that have never been seen in Winnipeg before
** Other Fossil News - Eight-Armed Animal Preceded Dinosaurs
An eight-armed creature that looked more like a modern party favour than a
living animal colonized a large section of the world's oceans over 300
million years before the first dinosaurs emerged
** Dynamic Dinos
The evolutionary link between prehistoric dinosaurs and modern, warm-blooded
birds is just one aspect of paleontology to explore at "Dinosaurs: Ancient
Fossils, New Discoveries," a travelling exhibition that runs through Jan. 4
at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science
** Site Of The Week - Raymond Alf Museum Holotypes Now Online
The Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology acts as a centre for
paleontological education and research by maintaining and continually
expanding its outstanding collection of specimens, presently numbering over
80,000

** Famous dinosaurs
Earlier this year, I was fortunate to take my pupils to the dinosaur museum
in Phu Wiang in the Isan region of Thailand
** What Big Teeth You Have: Was the Heterodontosaurus an Herbivore or a
Carnivore or an Omnivore?
If the sharp, conical teeth at the front of the dinosaur's mouth appeared at
such a young age, perhaps Heterodontosaurus was omnivorous
** What is EarthQuest?: Unearthing the massive dinosaur-themed project
"Dino" Don Lessem, a renowned dinosaur palaeontologist who reconstructed the
world's largest dinosaur skeleton, is the man behind the idea for the
project
** Tour digs into Utah's dinosaur sites
When the giant meat eater, probably an allosaurus, walked across this spot
about 150 million years ago, the landscape was a tropical environment on the
shores of an inland sea, lush with ferns, cycads, conifers and ginkgo trees
** These dinos are made for walkin'
It has probably been a while since anyone has seen a Brachiosaurus nearly
bump its head on a Northern Kentucky University basketball arena scoreboard

** Palaeontologists sift Utah soil for plant fossils
Palaeontologists are sifting through the soil of an excavated lot in search
of ancient plants, the only ones from the early Jurassic period found so far
in western North America.
** Tyrannosaurus rex noses out dinosaur competition
Scientists at the University of Calgary and the Royal Tyrrell Museum in
Alberta, Canada, compared the size of their olfactory bulbs - the part of
the brain regulating the sense of smell - in a wide range of carnivorous
dinosaurs
** Moray dinosaur footprints to feature on TV
The footprint trails at Clashach Quarry, near Hopeman, will be part of a
film about geology in Moray

As an British citizen in an American Museum Studies program, soon to be
clutching my Masters diploma for dear life, I was wondering whether anyone
could give me a rough idea of their policies on hiring international
applicants, or if anyone has had experience finding an institution which has
supported their H1B visa.
Thank you so much,
Sincerely,
Serena Bolliger
