Hi Jan

 

Its still in its early days, but we have a group of volunteers who answer/research  general local history enquiries. All the enquiries are logged in a folder which I keep track of. The idea was that we would be able to monitor the types/subjects of the enquiries, which could then inform the museum about any temporary local exhibitions we might produce. We felt this was a different approach to the one where we might work with a particular group to develop an exhibition, which most of us already do.  As I say, it is still early days, but is a useful experiment!

 

Regards

Hi All,

 

Apologies for cross posting.

 

Does anyone know of any publications/articles about engaging with the public through enquiries?

 

I can’t seem to find anything in the literature about it? Perhaps nothing has been written?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Jan
