Dear colleagues,
Please consider sharing this survey and taking it, it it applies to your professional position. We are a little shy of 100 survey replies at the moment, and we would love to hear from as many interpretation practitioners as possible, to strengthen the quality of the survey results. We will share results on our project website in Summer 2020.
-------------------------------------
Interpretation of Field is a collaborative project housed at the Faculty of Information, University of Toronto, designed to document and share current practices of interpretation professionals in four types of museums. Our main data-collecting tool is a survey, which we developed to take the pulse of contemporary practices in museum interpretation, and to map out tools, strategies and knowledge used by practitioners. This research is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, Canada's federal research funding agency.
If you are an interpretation professional working in an art museum/centre, an encyclopedic/general (multi-disciplinary) museum, a natural history/anthropology museum, or a science/technology museum/centre, we invite you to take our survey between Jan. 2 and March 1, 2020. Results will be available on the project's website in Summer 2020.
