I am creating a proposal for the creation of a museum at another university (in Arkansas) for a course here, as well as practical application at that university. I would like to include some information regarding the relationships between university museums and the institution itself, especially administration, as well as the nearby community. If you work in a university museum, how do you work together with the administration of the university to ensure the success of your museum? What kind of relationship do you have with the university, and how involved are they in the museum's activities? Any examples and information I could include in the proposal for the university to help in developing a university museum would be incredibly helpful. Thank you for your help! Sincerely, Megan Valentine Curatorial Graduate Assistant Institute of Egyptian Art and Archaeology University of Memphis [log in to unmask] ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the MUSEUM-L list, click the following link: http://home.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa-HOME.exe?SUBED1=MUSEUM-L&A=1 ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
