Thank you for responding to my request about museum ethnography--I only wish I had tried this sooner. Unfortunately, my project of the moment must be "finished" soon, but I hope to continue my research, maybe make a senior thesis out of it. I would NOT suggest doing a museum ethnography if you have other obligations in life! Responses were from: [log in to unmask] is working with a sociologist, Jeffrey Halley, to conduct this sort of study. There are evidently journal articles available through the ASA and at jstor.org. Nora Jones ([log in to unmask]) is working on her dissertation on this in visual anthropology at Temple University. Kersti Krug recently (1999) published a dissertation in multimedia CD-ROM format studying the community of an anthropology museum at the University of British Columbia. Full information on this can be found at www.iisgp.ubc.ca/community/kersti.htm; she is now teaching MA students in curatorial studies and working at that museum. Raymond Fogelson, an anthropologist specializing in tourism, teaches a course in Museum Anthropology at UChicago. Since you people are so helpful, does anyone know the location of the following (the servers/weblinks I've found are dead)?
