Editors Note
Small museums are faced with the enormous task of matching the responsibilities of a large museumplanning strategically, securing and managing human and financial resources, providing stewardship of collections (including historic buildings) as well as excellent exhibitions, programs, and publications, and responding to changing community and visitor needsall with more limited human and financial resources. Small museum staff (paid or unpaid) often fulfill key responsibilities outside their area of expertise or training.
We recognize that small museum staff lack time more than anything. To help you in the trenches, we offer this quick reference, written with your working environment in mind, to make the process of becoming a sustainable, valued institution less overwhelming.
The Small Museum Toolkit is designed as a single collection of short, readable books that provides the starting point for realizing key responsibilities in museum work. Each book stands alone, but as a collection they represent a single resource to jump-start the process of pursing best practices and meeting museum standards.
If you are new to working in museums, you may want to read the entire series to get the lay of the landan overview of what issues you should be aware of and where you can find resources for more information. If you have some museum training but are now responsible for more elements of museum operations than in your previous position, you may start with just the books or chapters covering unfamiliar territory. (You might be wishing you had taken a class in fundraising right about now!) As you prepare to tackle new challenges, we hope that you will refer back to a chapter to orient yourself.
While any chapter can be helpful if read in isolation, we suggest that you start with the first book, Leadership, Mission, and Governance , and look at the issues of mission, planning, and assessment. You will find that almost every chapter asks you to consider its subject in light of your mission and make decisions based on it. As you begin to feel overwhelmed by all the possible opportunities and challenges you face, assessment and planning will help you focus your scarce resources strategicallywhere you need them the most and where they can produce the biggest impact on your organization. And this book offers tips for good governancedefining the role of a trustee and managing the director-trustee relationship. Understanding this relationship from the outset will prevent many headaches down the road.
Financial Resource Development and Management offers you direction about how to raise and manage money and stay within your legal boundaries as a nonprofit. How to manage resources, human and inanimate, effectively and efficiently is discussed in Organizational Management . Reaching and Responding to the Audience encourages you to examine your museum audiences and make them comfortable, program to their needs and interests, and spread the word about your good work.
The remaining two books explore the museum foundational concepts of interpretation and stewardship in a small museum setting. Interpretation: Education, Programs, and Exhibits considers researching and designing exhibits and best practices for sharing the stories with your audiences. Stewardship: Collections and Historic Preservation rounds out the six-book series with an in-depth look at collections care, management, and planning.
