Greetings to everyone from a new listserv user. My name is Lorna Julyan, and I have just begun working on a contract with the British Columbia Museums Association in Victoria, B.C. I am helping to design a survey and also doing research for a project concerning schools and museums integration. The objective of this project is to permanently integrate museums and similar institutions into the school education process of the province of British Columbia. The project spans all grades in the school system. I am looking for information and examples, both in Canada and internationally, of instances where educators in the school system and museums have developed effective relationships based on a perception of museums and heritage sites as valuable and frequently used educational resources. In addition, I am putting together a collection of resource materials on this topic, and if anyone could send me brochures or leaflets relating to current or past programs on this subject, I would greatly appreciate their help. A search on ERIC, the educational index of journal articles and reports, has yielded some useful citations, and I will be looking at other journal indexes which include museum journals. If anyone knows of other publications on this topic, such as unpublished articles or reports, please let me know where I could write or send an e-mail to ask for a copy. In addition, names and addresses or e-mails of people who have been or are now involved in such a project would be very useful. Please e-mail me directly at [log in to unmask], or send an e-mail to Lee Boyko (coordinator of this project) at [log in to unmask] I would be very grateful for any assistance anyone could give me. Thank you. *************************************************** Lorna Julyan Contractor, Schools and Museums Integration Project B.C.
