How do you know if your museum meets the current definition of a museum?
Wondering if your collections policy is current?
Want to learn about the museum environment?
Three new sections of the American Association of Museums (AAM) web site
answer these questions and provide links to more information.  Carefully
researched by AAM's Technical Information Service (TIS), these pages answer
some of our most frequently-asked questions.

For definitions of a museum, go to http://www.aam-us.org/tiswiam.htm
For collections policy guidelines, go to http://www.aam-us.org/tiswcmp.htm
For an overview of the museum environment, go to
http://www.aam-us.org/tisdme.htm

We expect that these pages will evolve as policies and learning about
museums continues to develop.  For comments or suggestions on these pages,
