Hello,

I'm looking for resources or articles on creating museum publications. This would be the kind of publication such as a book to go along with an exhibition, full of essays by contributors and information/research about the exhibit topic, with images of objects. This is more involved than a regular catalogue. When I try to search this topic, I only get links for existing publications and not resources for how to go about making one.

I am a Museum Studies student and am curious to learn more about how museums plan their publications when they decide to create one for an exhibition.

Thank you for any leads!

Hi Sara,

 We work a lot with Pomegranate Press for our publications. Great folks. AWFUL website in my opinion, but great people and a great end product.

Thank you Matthew and also Joy for your recommendations!

I should clarify, I'm looking for information on how museums decide internally to publish a book to go along their exhibitions, and how they plan things like budget, book dimensions, content, etc.
