Dear all, A few weeks ago I sent a request for information about visitor figures from museums with natural history collections (see below). I’ve had seven museums respond so far, but it would be really great if I could hit double figures. If any of you can take a break from your schedule to complete the attached questionnaire, I would be most grateful. Figures from both large and small museums are welcome. I’ve set the completion date for 31st October, so hopefully a few more of you will have time to fill it in. There are no prizes, I’m afraid, except that you’ll get to be represented in an exciting piece of research! Thank you in advance. Very best wishes, Elee Elee Kirk Freelance Museum Educator & Researcher www.eleekirk.com School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester University email: [log in to unmask] University web page: http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/museumstudies/research/phd-student-research/EleeKirk Begin forwarded message: > From: Elee Kirk <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Research request for museums with natural history collections > Date: 10 September 2013 12:17:58 BST > To: "[log in to unmask]" <[log in to unmask]> > Reply-To: Elee Kirk <[log in to unmask]> > > Hi all, > > I hope you have all had productive/relaxing summers, and are enjoying getting your teeth into the new term. I have a request for those of you who work at museums with natural history collections - either single galleries or the whole museum. > > I am currently working on my PhD at the University of Leicester, investigating young children's responses to natural history museums. My main research, based in one UK museum, has already been carried out, but I would like a bit of information from other UK museums, just to put it in context. It's very easy - all I'm looking for is some visitor figures. > > I've attached a questionnaire. I would very much appreciate it if you, or an appropriate person from your museum, could complete this and sent it back to me by the end of October. I know that visitor figures can be complicated, so the form is broken down into questions that, I hope, will account for these complications. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. > > Thank you in advance for the time you put into this.
