Historic house museums can be found in nearly every city in the United States and Canada. These are the homes of the earliest settlers, statesmen, frontiersmen, great writers, artists, architects, and industrial magnates. These are the places, carefully saved and preserved, that represent a cultural heritage. Despite their popularity, it is not uncommon to find museums that are in poor repair, their collections neglected and their staffs grossly overworked. Many are run by wellmeaning and hardworking volunteers who have little or no professional training. Often they survive on shoestring budgets and are able to present only limited programs. Serving both as a handson guide and reference, this book examines these problems, offering practical advice and solutions which can be easily implemented. Its useful 'lessons' include governance, where to find help, care of collections, conservation, security, and interpretationall designed to increase the professionalism of the historic house museum.
