Museums and Galleries

In mid-September, I sent an information request to several lists seeking an up-to-date, English-language textbook for a course designed to introduce students to the realities of the museum and gallery world and professional practice in the museum and gallery field.

43 colleagues sent generous and extensive replies. This compilation is a collection of their replies.

After circulating the compilation, I received several requests for permission to distribute the compilation, post it to web sites, or use material in different ways. This is a welcome response. The authors of the contributions shared their work with the understanding that I would circulate this compilation, so everyone is welcome to use this work freely as a community resource.
