You should try to get a copy of NAME's (National Association for Museum Exhibition- a professional committee of the AAM) Fall 1995 Newsletter "Exhibitionist". One of the feature articles, "Presenting History: Democracy on Display" (Written by Peter Liebhold), gives a summation of the various sessions of the Symposium at Michigan. It includes some interesting quotes by participants as well. LIZ Laitman US Holocaust Memorial Museum ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Museums in Democratic Society Author: Museum discussion list <[log in to unmask]> at INETGATE Date: 12/1/95 9:55 AM I would like to know if anyone who went to the Smithsonian/UM conference would be willing to provide a brief assessment of the role of museums in a democratic society as determined by the conference. I am researching the Enola Gay controversy and compling a bibliography of sources where one might go if interested in further pursuing this topic in a narrow and broader sense. I realize the tapes are now available, but time and my pocket book will not allow me to purchase them just yet. I would then like to cite the conversation in a minimal way in the bibliography. In return, if someone is interested, I would be more than happy to send a copy of what I turn in. Thanks! Judy Prosser-Armstrong Collections and Information Manager Museum of Western Colorado
