Full textAdapting the Model for Information Literacy and Cultural Heritage in Cape Town: investigating user attitudes and perceptions in libraries, museums and archives, by Kim Baker, investigates the attitudes and perceptions of general public adult users of the City of Cape Town public libraries, Iziko Museums of South Africa, and the Western Cape Archives and Records Service in Cape Town towards cultural heritage, information literacy and learning in order to adapt the Model for Information Literacy and Cultural Heritage for Lifelong Learning to the Cape Town context. A generic Model for international use was developed for the book. In formation Literacy and Cultural Heritage: Developing a model for lifelong learning . (Baker, 2013). The adapt at ion of the generic model is a necessary preliminary step before designing courses to teach information literacy and cultural heritage to the general public in a given local context and in an integrated manner, with public libraries, museums and archives collaborating and co - operating to provide the training together. The investigation was conducted by means of survey questionnaires, which applied within-method triangulation of quantitative and qualitative questions, and a combination of Yes/No answers, Likert scale questions and multiple-choice questions. The survey questionnaires included the demographic categories of race, gender, age group, home language, level of education, religion and employment status in order to gain an understanding of the demographic profiles of users necessary to the application of training in cultural heritage to different cultural groups. Questions were grouped into sections, with Section A asking questions pertaining to understandings of cultural heritage, Section B investigating whether users had access to the Internet at home, and if so, how much bandwidth was available to them; Section C explored information seeking and evaluation (information literacy) patterns, and Section D explored learning behaviours and preferences. Section E explored whether users of the public libraries also used museums and archives, why or why not; whether users of the museums used public libraries and archives, and why or why not, and whether users of the Archives used public libraries, and why or why not. At the public libraries, 480 respondents across the branches of Central Library; Athlone; Milnerton; Moses Mahbida; Grassy Park; Bellville; Harare; Somerset West; Brackenfell and Town Centre, Mitchell’s Plain, completed the questionnaires. At Iziko Museums, 220 respondents across the sites of the South African Museum, and the Slave Lodge completed questionnaires. At the Archives , which has only one site, 25 respondents completed the questionnaires. The surveying was conducted using the convenience sampling method. The data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2010, by means of non-parametric, descriptive statistics and presented in graphic format. Following the interpretation of the results, and as a result of this study, recommendations were made for the adapt at ion of the Model of Information Literacy and Cultural Heritage for Lifelong Learning to apply to the context of Cape Town.
Bennett, Hunter Alane. "Help, Museum Needed| Building a Digital Museum for Lincoln County, Arkansas." Thesis, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10812452.
Full textLincoln County, Arkansas, is a small county in the southeastern sector of Arkansas that lacks a museum dedicated to its history. With Lincoln County lacking the funds to purchase/build a physical space that is on-par with current museum standards, a museum building is an impossibility at this point. Yet, the older generations that are full of knowledge about the history of the county are fading away. To preserve past and future history, a new spin on a museum had to be accomplished. The spin was creating a digital museum. This study goes in-depth on the creation of a digital database and museum for Lincoln County using Omeka.net and WordPress.com according to Dublin Core and museum standards. The websites showcase a broad and general history of Lincoln County that will hopefully become a foundation for the creation of a physical museum.

In neighborhoods facing demographic shifts, like changes in ethnicity, class and language, resident participation in state-sponsored planning processes can be difficult due to unfamiliarity, mistrust or cultural misalignment between residents and existing planning agents. This is particularly true in neighborhoods with large populations of new immigrants, where residents do not only face language barriers, long working hours and a general unfamiliarity with local planning processes, but are also prone to face cultures of discrimination or self-induce exclusion for fear of legal action to shaky residency status. In this thesis I ask how can a cultural institution include new immigrants in participatory artist-led, neighborhood-based processes that ultimately connect to state-sponsored planning efforts? Specifically, how can a museum tie together independent participatory artist-led projects in a meaningful and impactful manner? Through a primarily case study of the Queens Museum of Art (QMA) located in New York City, I illustrate how with the specific goals of incorporating the voices of new immigrants in the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) renovation project in Corona Plaza, the museum was able to facilitate a collaborative participatory process that engaged multiple actors in an open and dynamic manner. I situate the case within the literatures of participation, from planning and art, in order to present various perspectives on the meaning, value and limitations of participation. Drawing from the literature, 1 highlight how without a clear declaration of long-term goals, QMA may face difficulty maintaining the commitment and participation of residents and may face questions of legitimacy in their community-based work in Corona. Following a general discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of a civil society institution involving itself in the political realm, I conclude that with a clear set of goals and with an acknowledgement of their own capacity limitations, museums can facilitate collaborative and dynamic participatory processes that overcome limitations of formulaic government-led processes and promote the planning of inclusive and equitable neighborhoods.

By the 1920s, ideas about the function and appearance of the American art museum were shifting such that they no longer were perceived to be merely storehouses of art. Rather, they were meant to fill a present democratic need of reaching out to the public and actively helping to cultivate the tastes and knowledge of a desired culturally literate citizen. As a result of debates about the museum's mission, audience, and design, in 1931 the Philadelphia Museum of Art opened the first branch museum in the nation on 69th Street in the suburb of Upper Darby in an effort to improve the relationship between the museum and the community. With sponsorship by its parent institution and financing by the Carnegie Corporation of New York City, the two organizations hoped to determine, over a five-year period, whether branch museums, like branch libraries, would be equally successful and valuable in reaching out to the public, both physically and intellectually. The new Sixty-ninth Street Branch Museum was to serve as a valuable mechanism for civic education by encouraging citizens to think constructively about art and for the development of aesthetic satisfaction, but more importantly it was to be a catalyst for social change by integrating the visual arts into the daily life of the community. In this thesis I will demonstrate that, although the first branch museum was only open for a year and a half, it nonetheless succeeded in shaping the way people thought about art and how museums were meant to function as democratic institutions in American society.

Gohman, Stacy Chieko Lonjers. "A mixed methods study describing the link between reflective practice and work engagement among museum exhibit developers." Thesis, Capella University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3730571.
Full textThis study examined reflective practices and work engagement among museum exhibit developers in the United States. The primary goal of this sequential explanatory study was to determine if there is a link between reflective practice and work engagement, and to understand the nature of any link. Secondarily, the study sought to identify the extent of reflective practice use among exhibit developers, the extent to which exhibit developers are engaged in their work, exhibit developers’ perceptions of reflective practice, and exhibit developers’ perceptions about the benefits and challenges of engaging in reflective practice. Using Spearman’s coefficient, this study found that reflective practice and work engagement are significantly correlated (p = .002). This study also found that exhibit developers are highly reflective concerning their work and are very highly engaged in their work. According to this study, exhibit developers have higher than average vigor, dedication, and absorption. Participants in this study suggested that reflective practice influences vigor and dedication in exhibit developers. Reflective practice helps exhibit developers persist through challenges in their work and helps them feel they made the correct career choice. Engaging in reflective practice also helps exhibit developers feel like they are engaged in significant work, feel more inspired, and feel challenged by their work. Exhibit developers have many different perceptions of reflective practice, including the following: thinking of reflective practice as mindfulness; engaging in reflective practice by looking at past experiences; using reflective practice to ensure the pieces fit together as a cohesive whole; using prototyping and evaluation as part of reflective practice; using reflection as critique; reflecting while looking at other people’s exhibits; and having reflective discussions. Benefits of engaging in reflective practice included focus on audience needs, incorporation of diverse perspectives, ongoing engagement with projects, meeting personal needs, gaining assistance and confidence in making decisions, and promoting adaptability. Challenges to engaging in reflective practice included time, money, the attitudes of museum or team leadership, other colleagues, the institutional culture, and the field in general.

Hackathons, maker spaces, R&D labs: these terms are common to the world of technology, but have only recently seeped into museums. The last few years have witnessed a wave of art museum initiatives that invite audiences-from casual visitors to professional artists and technologists-to take the reins of creative production using emerging technologies. The goals of this thesis are threefold. First, I situate this trend, which I call "museum making," within two historical narratives: the legacy of museums as sites for art making and the birth of hacker and maker cultures. These two lineages-histories of art-based and technology-based creative production-are part of a larger participatory ethos prevalent today. A second goal of this thesis is to document museum making initiatives as they emerge, with an eye to how staff members at museums are able to develop such programs despite limited financial, technological, or institutional support or knowledge. Finally, I critically examine how museum making may or may not challenge traditional structures of power in museums. Museum making embodies a tension between the desire to make the museum a more open and equitable space-both by inviting creators into the museum, and by welcoming newer forms of creative production that might not align with today's art world-and the need to maintain institutions' authority as arbiters of culture. My analysis draws on a wide range of fields, including sociology, educational theory, media studies, museum studies, and art theory. This thesis is informed by extensive fieldwork conducted at three sites: the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's Art + Technology Lab, a program that awards artist grants and mentorship from individuals and technology companies such as Google and SpaceX; the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Media Lab, an innovation lab that invites members of New York's creative technology community to develop prototypes for and based on the museum experience; and the Peabody Essex Museum's Maker Lounge, an in-gallery space in which visitors are invited to tinker with high and low technologies.

Full textThis dissertation examines how the complex geography and contested history of the American West are presented through stories told in the region’s history museums. I examine how iconic regional-scale place images are juxtaposed with more critical perspectives on dissonant historical episodes in museum exhibits, and how the spaces of museum exhibits and galleries represent places, structure narratives, and suggest new thematic and geographical connections interpreting the region. Using a series of case studies of museums in Colorado and adjacent states, I develop new methods to analyze museum exhibits as “three-dimensional narratives,” in which spatial arrangements of objects, texts, and media structure narratives that interpret and contest the past.
This research builds on cultural geographic research on how contested memory is expressed and presented, both in symbolic landscapes, and through media. I extend this work in three main ways. First, I extend research on monuments and memorials to consider how museum spaces present and contest the past. Second, I follow recent engagements between geography and narrative theory, examining storytelling as a distinct form of discourse, with its own spatial dimensions. Third, I situate this investigation amid increasing scholarly attention to heritage tourism, particularly in terms of how the “Legacy of Conquest” of the American West is made marketable to visitors.
I explore this narrative geography through three case studies: First, a detailed examination of the History Colorado Center in downtown Denver highlights how spatial narratives organize and structure museum presentations, emphasizing some thematic and geographical connections while downplaying others. Second, a comparison of six Colorado museums highlighting race, ethnicity, and labor conflict examines the “genre conventions” through which these “counter-narratives” are linked to more conventional presentations of the regional past. Finally, a comparison of the state history museums of Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming explores how state geographies are presented as foundations of civic identities.
This research contributes to the cultural geographic understanding of museums as significant venues in which cultural meaning is presented and contested, and develops new methods for understanding museum narratives geographically. Such methods can be productively applied in other heritage tourism settings.
