On Feb. 8, Sara Phinney Kelley mentioned the AASLH *History News* focused issue on "Living History" interpretation. She noted in particular the role-player program of the Baltimore City Life Museums. As there have been several postings recently on Museum-L regarding this topic I thought that some of you might be interested in the New England regional meeting of ALHFAM, which will take place March 16-17 at Plimoth Plantation, Plymouth, Massachusetts. Topic: Interpreting in the First-Person Different sessions will focus on how a museum might initiate a program of this sort; In what kinds of situations this style of interpretation is particularly effective; how one creates a first-person persona; alternatives to creating a new museum program (importing roleplayers); special events using first-person interpretation; and more. This will be a rare opportunity to talk to an assembly of some of the leaders in the field. Registration is only $30.00 and two box lunches and a Thanksgiving (of course) dinner are only $32 more. If you are interested in receiving more information about this meeting give me your snail mail address and I'll see that you get registration materials.
