Dear List,
My name is Louise Hayward and I am currently undertaking a masters in
Archaeological Heritage Management at York University.
I am writing a dissertation on Museum Interpretation, the constraints placed
upon it and the affect that such constraints have on interpretation. As well
as reading a number of texts on the subject, I am also consulting a number
of people involved with interpretation within museums, by interviewing
interpreters and contacted mailing lists like this one. I have a few key
questions in mind:
1.What do you feel are the constraints placed upon/considerations that need
to be made regarding interpretation/creation of new displays?
2.Are there any constraints/considerations that are relevant only to your
museum?
3.How do such constraints/considerations affect your interpretation?Is there
a large gap between what you want to and what is physically possible due to
such constraints/considerations?
Basically, I'm trying to identify the key problems faced by the
interpretator and to what extent these prevent an interpretator from
carrying out their job to the best of their abilities.
I wondered if any of you had any comments to make/any helpful suggestions
etc. Also, if anyone makes any comments/statements, would you be happy for
me to use your comments in my dissertation and would you prefer them to be
anonymous.
Thank you for you help, and apologies for the length of my email.
Regards,
Louise Hayward
