Let me be among the first to recommend the single best source on the topic:
Beverly Serrell's book "Exhibit Labels: An Interpretive Approach."
Published by Alta Mira Press, it is available through the AAM bookstore at
www.aam-us.org, and the Alta Mira website www.altamirapress.com.
Further information on label writing is available through NAME, the National
Association for Museum Exhibition, one of the Standing Professional
Committees of AAM. Contact Nancy Lynn at [log in to unmask]
