Download or read book Interpreting Agriculture at Museums and Historic Sites written by Debra A. Reid and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interpreting Agriculture in Museums and Historic Sites orients readers to major themes in agriculture and techniques in education and interpretation that can help you develop humanities-based public programming that enhance agricultural literacy. Case studies illustrate the ways that local research can help you link your history organization to compelling local, national (even international) stories focused on the multidisciplinary topic. That ordinary plow, pitch fork, and butter paddle can provide the tangible evidence of the story worth telling, even if the farm land has disappeared into subdivisions and agriculture seems as remote as the nineteenth century. Other topics include discussion of alliances between rural tourism and community-supported agriculture, farmland conservation and stewardship, heritage breed and seed preservation efforts, and antique tractor clubs. Any of these can become indispensable partners to history organizations searching for a new interpretive theme to explore and new partners to engage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Living History Anthology brings together twenty-six practical essays on the craft of establishing and running living history museums. Contributions cover all aspects of developing and running a living history site. Including contributions on strategic planning, human resource management, research programs, collection policies, and engagement with varied audiences, including indigenous groups, the book demonstrates how to approach such tasks from a living history perspective. Topics unique to the sector, such as re-enactment, historic trade crafts, and working with machinery and livestock, are also covered. Each essay is briefly introduced and contextualized by the editors, while the collection is bookended by a new foreword and afterword from Debra A. Reid, and an introduction from the editors. Representing the collective wisdom of the Association for Living History, Farm and Agricultural Museums (ALHFAM) members across the decades, The Living History Anthology provides a valuable resource for all living history practitioners. It should also be of interest to students and scholars studying living history.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of a living history institution and what sets it apart from other museums is the preservation of both tangible historical artifacts and intangible folkways---the practices, customs, or beliefs shared by members of a group as parts of their common culture. Less than 150 living history museums are recognized by the Association for Living History, Farms and Agricultural Museums (ALHFAM), although the historic house or site museum is the most common type of museum in America (Grogg 1994, 1). While these museums are popular, relatively little literature or research has been produced regarding visitors to this type of institution. The purpose of this study was to begin research that will reveal the characteristics of the typical living history museum visitor. Surveys were used to gather information regarding three areas of interest to museum administrators; visitor demographics, the visitors' perceptions of the importance of museum amenities, and the visitors' perceptions of the importance of various characteristics of living history museums. The data collected found that the typical visitor to living history museums is female, between the ages of thirty-six and fifty-five, and highly educated. They place the greatest amount of importance on having fun and learning. They also consider the presence of polite and knowledgeable museum staff to be very important. Finally, the presence of clean and ample restrooms was a vitally important aspect of a visit to a living history museum. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).
