The Museum Association of New York publishes a salary survey every two years, which you can purchase by contacting the Association at 189 Second Street, Troy, NY 12180 or 518/273-3400. The survey reports its results several different ways: budget size, museum discipline, and location (rural vs. urban). Have used it many times to establish compensation ranges. I recommend it.
