- W48534437 abstract "Expanding beyond traditional roles, some museums are now striving to serve as public learning and social catalyst institutions for their communities. Museums are increasingly engaging with communities to address social, environmental and other complex contemporary issues, sometimes partnering with other institutions and organizations to engage and serve community members. Because these roles and programs are often untested, assessment is critical for identifying potential outcomes, developing recommendations for program improvement, and justifying their existence in a world that increasingly demands accountability. However, literature relevant to museum programs addressing specific social issues is limited. This paper presents an alternative strategy for developing a conceptual framework for a future program assessment, using grant language and project notes as the foundation. 1.0 Museum Services: Traditional and Emerging Roles The tradition of museums is rooted in collections of physical objects, images, and documents, with simply labeled objects typically aligned like rows of tin soldiers on shelves behind glass. This approach reflects the primary role of museums until the 1970s: gathering, preserving, and studying the objects and related topics (Chhabra 2008; Gilmore & Rentschler 2002). Public access was limited (Edwards & Graham 2006) and curators typically did not care if the occasional visitor understood or developed any meaningful connections with the objects (Kuhne et al. 1997). The items themselves, and the relevant science conducted around them, were sufficient. Many such museums still exist. However, pressured externally and internally for indicators of relevance and accountability, many museums gradually became more involved in attracting visitors and providing quality services (Edwards & Graham 2006). This included delivering educational programs for visitors by utilizing artifacts. In recent decades, the museum field has been engaged in significant self-reflection and is in the process of re-engineering itself, broadening its services from being purely custodial to including more socially-oriented services. Museum leaders have identified a need for museums to become more relevant to their home communities, more engaged with community members through partnerships and collaboration, and more involved with the social, environmental, and other critical issues of our current world. Although collections remain important, according to the Code of Ethics for Museums (American Association of Museums [AAM], 2000), museum accreditation now requires that museums: engage in ongoing, reflective institutional planning that includes audience and community involvement; strive to be inclusive and offers opportunities for diverse populations; and assert their public service role, with education at the center. Given this, accredited museums are required to contribute to social change as part of the informal educational system and to" @default.
