Interpreting Anniversaries and Milestones at Museums and Historic
Sites is an invaluable resource for a wide range of cultural
organizations that are attempting to plan an historical anniversary
celebration or commemoration, including museums, churches, cities,
libraries, colleges, arts organizations, science centers,
historical societies, and historic house museums. As you plan a
milestone anniversary for your institution, learn from what others
have already accomplished in their own communities. What worked?
What didn't work? And why? The book begins with an examination of
why people are drawn to celebrating and commemorating anniversaries
in their own lives and in their communities, as well as the
institutional benefits of planning this type of programming. The
rest of the book features case studies of specific institutions
that have planned and executed an anniversary celebration or
commemoration. In-depth interviews with key staff members involved
in the planning process at each organization provide the reader
with ideas that can be adapted to their own celebrations, as well
as pit-falls to avoid, funding opportunities, marketing plans, and
visitor response. Chapters are organized by the type of anniversary
activity: * Signature Events * Programs and Tours * Fundraising
Campaigns * Exhibitions, Books and Documentaries * Audience
Outreach and Community Involvement * Preservation * Partnerships *
Commemorative Products and Souvenirs A wide range of sizes and
types of organizations are represented from across the country and
around the world, including the Smithsonian National Museum of
American History, The Andy Warhol Museum, The Imperial War Museum,
Mackinac State Historic Parks, Woodrow Wilson House, the National
Corvette Museum, Stan Hywet, Cincinnati Preservation Society, the
Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, the City of South Bend, and much more.
Plans can be scaled up or down, depending on your institution's
resources.
