I
may be able to partially answer your question early next year. We are
developing a three-part peace medal project. Last Spring, my graduate class in
exhibition created content and design for an on-line peace medal exhibition.
It should be on our website, later this summer. I am editing a book on peace
medals that is related to the exhibit but it is not, strictly speaking, an
exhibition catalog. However, all of the articles pertain to our collection of
medals. Finally, we are creating a 3D exhibition on peace medals that will
include a fair number of paintings, photographs and other materials to enhance
the medals. It will open in December of this year. I expect we will do some
audience survey work to determine how what people think about
it.

Numismatics
Hi All!
I'm
interning at the Nat'l Museum of American History in the Numismatic
Department. I'm just conducting a VERY informal survey.
If you
are in any way involved in numismatics at your museum, how is it going for
your collection? Is it popular with your town/audience/state? Really I'm just
looking for any information that you would like to share. Again, this is
informal. I'm just trying to get a pulse for numismatics. Thank you for your
time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Marlina F.
