Greetings everyone on this Tuesday morning,
I am a history student writing a thesis on how museums attempt to
strike a balance between being a center of research and a place of
leisure especially when it involves archival materials (manuscripts,
letters, photographs, audio media, etc.). In exploring this subject,
and please understand that I am in the very early stages of this
work, it seems that publicly promoting one's institution as a
research center is secondary to its function as a place of leisure.
If you could please enlighten me on how you approach this at your
institution and further direct me to some literature on this topic, I
would appreciate it tremendously. Also, any information on the
subject of archival materials in a museum setting would also be a
great help.
You can write me personally at [log in to unmask] or if you
would like to discuss this on the list, I will be looking there too.
Thanks again. Enjoy your week.
