Abstract:

There are many avenues of assistance open to museum professionals for the benefit of their institutions. These include the traditional sources of federal support as well as many governmental, private and public organizations which provide services or funds to carry out a variety of programs not previously used. This book was put together specifically for history, natural history, art, and science museums so that they can easily determine what kinds of programs are available to them and so that they can develop ways to use these programs. (Preface, p. 1).
