The link given earlier referencing AASLH was actually for the Small Museum Association, another wonderful resource. The AASLH small museum discussion list has over 700 members and can be found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/smallmuseums/
Like all of AASLH's affinity groups, membership in the Small Museums Committee is free for AASLH members.
 
A new AASLH resource for small organizations (and mid-sized ones) is the self-study Standards and Excellence Program -- known as StEPs. You can find more info at
http://www.aaslh.org/steps.htm

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] small museum list serve??

I am busy writing up my report for a recent MAP site visit and would like to recommend some online sources. Does anyone have any good suggestions for online resources for very small institutions (few staff and small budget - but many wonderful dedicated volunteers!). Is there a listserve for small museums?

thanks,
Robin Gabriel
