Lyle,
While working as curator at an agricultural museum/ historic
village in Minnesota, I found "Exhibit Makeovers: A Do-It Yourself Workbook
for Small Museums" to be really helpful.
http://www.amazon.com/Exh
ibit-Makeovers-Do-Yourself-Workbook/dp/0759109974
"Exhibit Labels:
An Interpretive Approach" (http://www.amazon.com/Exhibit-Labels-Interpretiv
e-Beverly-Serrell/dp/0761991069/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b) also provides some g
ood rules and ideas to follow for writing labels.
I now live in Wau
paca, volunteering and serving on the board at the Waupaca Historical Socie
ty. If you would like any insight or help with this project, please don't h
esitate to email.
Good luck!
Tracy Behrendt

The Iola Historical Society is in th
e process of designing exhibits for their museum and needs your input.
We
would like to know what book(s) you would recommend in giving us designing
and material advice.
Yes, exhibit design is the main program for the upc
oming regional meeting to be held on July 23rd but
we would like to start
working on our displays before then. Which book would be your recommendati
on?
Thank you for your help.
