Community Research Simulation

“Museums are places where people are encouraged to make connections, to seek

common ground. As collaborators and partners, they are institutions that make

common cause with others…”

Community Research

Building strong win-win partnerships and developing positive relationships with peer

organizations and professionals are a component of identifying and serving target

audiences, developing the museum’s community role, ensuring community

participation in the development, communication, evaluation of programs and

exhibits, and exploring avenues of funding and support.

Most resources may be found on the Internet or you may wish to contact the local

businesses or institutions and have materials sent to you for review.

As we begin the research this area as it relates to the TRM&G it is important to keep

Each year more and more tourists and visitors in general are using the Internet to

determine destinations and to obtain information. (e.g. admission costs, features

Consider evaluating the website as you would an exhibition or a publication on

paper - it communicates to a wide range of people without the presence of an

interpreter and needs to reflect the message, mission, and information of the

museum as effectively as any other medium.

Interpretation C-125

Interpretation is the media and activities

through which a museum carries out its mission

and educational role. Interpretation is a

dynamic process of communication between the

museum and the community. It’s the means by

which the museum delivers its content.

Interpretation includes but is not limited to

exhibits, tours, classes, school programs,

publications, and websites.

Collections Stewardship C-125

Possession of collections incurs legal, social,

and ethical obligations to provide proper

physical care for the collections and

associated documentation, as well as

proper intellectual control. Effective

collections stewardship ensures that the

objects the museum owns, borrows, holds

in its custody, and/or uses are available and

accessible to the present and future

generations.

This simulation is based on the research and development of the Tradescant

Rose & Museum and Garden (TRM&G) Narrative Report. The TRM&G, associated

facilities, and staff are fictitious, but the issues faced are real and representative

of many museums participating in the Museum Assessment Program. As much

as possible, the TRM&G is represented realistically.
