Synopsis

Interpretation helps the public understand our purpose and mission. In this book, we tackle how to orient your organization to be effective interpreters of what you collect; how to tell engaging stories; and how to address difficult issues you may have avoided. We provide a primer in historical research for the non-historian and the do-it-yourself basics for creating good exhibits, tours, and programs on a small museum budget.

About this title

Review

Book Five of the Small Museum Toolkit is an invaluable resource for those who want to learn the ins and outs of solid interpretation. Contributors, whose insights come from years of experience on the front line, identify the most important things to keep in mind when planning and coordinating programs and exhibits. This is a book that I will share with paid and volunteer staff alike.--Alexandra Rasic, Public Programs Manager, Homestead Museum
