I am a senior American Studies Major at Georgetown University in the
beginning stages of a thesis. My topic area is still slightly vague, but
I hope to examine the American Public's relationship with history
museums: why do we go to museums, why do we think museums are
useful/educational/enjoyable (or on the contrary why don't we think
that), what do we think the underlying purpose of a history museum
(particularly an American History museum) is? As I said, I haven't
narrowed the topic down very much yet, but I was hoping to get some
feedback from this list. Can anyone point me towards studies, books,
articles that might point me in a particular direction? You can reply to
the list or directly to me at the email address listed below.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
