You should contact the Pretty Loose Association of State Museum
Associations; there is a State Museum Association list serve which this
should be posted to --visit the Texas Association of Museum's web site for
more information on this group.  There is lots of information out there if
you connect with them.  They have had two national meetings and have
collated lots of information on the services the state associations
provide.

There is a Field Service Alliance that meets at AASLH, made up primarily of
field service people working for state historical societies as well as some
state museum association folks.  It has a manual list serve through John
Harris at Indiana Historical Society.  Contact me off list for more
information.

Subject:        Info sought re statewide services

The Museum Association of New York, along with its regional museum service
agency colleagues, are seeking information about the extent of services to
the field that are provided by state museums, state historical societies,
and state museum associations.

We have good data from Minnesota, Ohio, Michigan, Oregon and Indiana.  Can
you share with us information about your state?

Thanks in advance,
