Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field Manual for Museums His manual has been prepared to aid those individuals - monument custodians, park naturalists, historians, and museum curators - who operate National Park Service museums in the field. For these men, who are creative experts in the art of interpreting their areas to the public, museums are among the important instruments employed in the notable service they perform. Therefore, they frequently require some convenient source of information on the intricacies of the various museum techniques. The contents have been determined by past experiences in answering the requests which come in from the field for advice on handling the many museum problems which arise. It would be impossible to encompass in one large book, or even several volumes, a complete description of all the phases of museum construction and maintenance. The allied techniques of collect ing and preserving material objects, not to mention their preparation and exhibition, would require still more space. Such facts of operation as occur infrequently or require the services of the specialist have been mentioned but briefly or entirely omitted. Other phases have been emphasized and in some cases repeated under several headings. This is particularly true of safe practices and precautions to be followed, so that injury to the custodian, as well as to the historic and scientific material under his charge, may be avoided.

Book excerpt: Among the most important contributions the National Park Service has made since its founding in 1916 has been the development of extraordinary museum technology and administration---national in scope and international in influence. This manual, a distillation of what many persons have learned about the day-to-day operations of museums, is meant to provide curatorial standards and serve as a reference for museum workers everywhere. This book was written by Ralph H. Lewis, an outstanding museum administrator and curator with many years of experience in the National Park Service. It is an outgrowth of an earlier (1941) volume entitled Field Manual for Museums by Ned J. Burns, a work that went out of print during World War II and is, even to this day, in demand by curators and museum managers. In this present manual, Mr. Lewis carries on a tradition of excellence in museum practice that can be traced back to the mid-1930's when Carl P. Russell set the basic pattern for museum work in the national parks. In those early years most park museums could not afford or were too small to engage a full time professional museum staff. Dr. Russell set up centralized laboratories staffed by curators and preparators and provided the parks with exhibition and preservation expertise from this pool. The ordinary maintenance and operation of the museums were left to the superintendents who managed the parks, and to the archeologists, historians and naturalists who interpreted them.

Download or read book Museum Curatorship in the National Park Service written by Ralph H. Lewis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-06 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Museum Curatorship in the National Park Service: 1904-1982 While obtaining degrees in biology and entomology from the University of Rochester, Ralph Lewis studied museum methods and worked in the university's natural history museum. In 1935 he came to work for the National Park Service as an assistant curator. He helped plan several new park museums and the Interior Department's headquarters museum in Washington before serving a year-long Rockefeller internship at the Buffalo Museum of Science in 1937 - 38. After five years as park historian at Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, he became assistant chief of the Park Service's Museum Branch in 1946 and chief in 1954, overseeing the full range of Park Service museum activities. When development and operational functions were organizationally separated in 1964 he was made chief of the Branch of Museum Operations, the post he held until his retirement in 1971. Fortunately, Ralph's involvement with park museums did not end at that point. Having edited the Park Service's 1941 Field Manual for Museums and written much of the Service's Museum Handbook, he was ideally equipped to prepare their sequel, the Manual for Museums published by the Service in 1976. As a volunteer, he has produced collection management plans for seven parks and spent thousands of hours arranging, cataloging, and caring for the collection at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. The origin of the current work, another labor of love, is explained in his preface. The Park Service got far more than it expected when Ralph turned in the manuscript for this book. A work of true scholarship, it placed the evolution of the Service's museum program in a broad professional context. Because it was also too long to be published for convenient access in a single volume, Bureau Historian Barry Mackintosh agreed to edit it down. With characteristic generosity, Ralph had credited at length virtually everyone ever involved with the museum program; Barry had to delete some of the more peripheral players. At the same time, While Ralph gave due attention to his predecessors and successors at the helm of the program, he alluded to himself so rarely and indirectly that his name appears in the narrative only through the editor's intervention. Many of Ralph's notes and citations, which ran to nearly two hundred pages, had to be deleted or compressed. Readers wishing more detail than remains may consult his manuscript in the National Park Service History Collection at the Harpers Ferry Center Library.
