Subject: [FS-LIST] Free Accreditation Resource for Small Museums
Copies of "Small Museums and Accreditation II: Profiles of Small
Accredited Museums" - a free CD - are still available.
This resource provides a comprehensive picture of the
accreditation process of nine small museums (including one college
museum), all accredited within the past three to five years, with
annual operating expenses between $100,000 and $330,000. Even if your
museum isn't small, take advantage of this unique resource to see
actual completed accreditation questionnaires, site visit reports,
and decision letters from a variety of types of museums. The CD will
show you how museums with different collections, facilities,
governance structures, and practices all meet accreditation standards.
On the CD you will find copies of each museum's accreditation Self-
Study Questionnaire, Visiting Committee (site visit) report,
Accreditation Commission decision letters, and strategic plans. The
directors of these museums also contribute tips and insights on the
triumphs and challenges of the accreditation experience. A self-
executing web based presentation on the CD walks you through the
materials while explaining the basics of accreditation-including the
standards and how they are applied as well as the steps in the
accreditation process.
To request one or more copies of "Small Museums and Accreditation
II", e-mail your name and mailing address to II", e-mail your name and mailing address to smallmus-accred@aam-
us.org or call the Accreditation Program staff at 202-218-7689. (The
CD runs on a PC and requires Windows, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and an
internet browser.)
This free CD was produced in 2006-2007 by the AAM Accreditation
Program with support from AAM's Small Museum Administrator's Standing
Professional Committee. AAM thanks the following museums for
generously granting AAM permission to share their accreditation
documents in this resource: Arms Family Museum of Local History,
Youngstown, Ohio; Carlyle House Historic Park, Alexandria, Virginia;
Frontier Army Museum, Fort Leavenworth, Kan.; Historical Society of
Frederick County, Frederick, Md.; Litchfield Historical Society
Museum, Conn.; Oberlin Heritage Center, Ohio; Philip and Muriel
Berman Museum of Art, Collegeville, Penn.; Silver City Museum, N.M.;
Western Museum of Mining and Industry, Colorado Springs, Colo.
