Field Manual For Museums Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Field Manual for Museums His manual has been prepared to aid those individuals - monument custodians, park naturalists, historians, and museum curators - who operate National Park Service museums in the field. For these men, who are creative experts in the art of interpreting their areas to the public, museums are among the important instruments employed in the notable service they perform. Therefore, they frequently require some convenient source of information on the intricacies of the various museum techniques. The contents have been determined by past experiences in answering the requests which come in from the field for advice on handling the many museum problems which arise. It would be impossible to encompass in one large book, or even several volumes, a complete description of all the phases of museum construction and maintenance. The allied techniques of collect ing and preserving material objects, not to mention their preparation and exhibition, would require still more space. Such facts of operation as occur infrequently or require the services of the specialist have been mentioned but briefly or entirely omitted. Other phases have been emphasized and in some cases repeated under several headings. This is particularly true of safe practices and precautions to be followed, so that injury to the custodian, as well as to the historic and scientific material under his charge, may be avoided.

Excerpt from Field Museum of Natural History Manual This review has been prepared in order to supply a constant demand for information concerning the foundation, the endowments, and the activities of the Museum.

Harris Public School Extension, and the Library of the Institution. A list of contributors to the Museum, and a short account of the more important expeditions undertaken, are also given.
