The American Association of Museums (AAM) is offering the Museum Assessment Program (MAP), designed to help historical societies and museums assess their strengths and weaknesses, and plan for the future. A MAP assessment requires members of the museum staff and governing authority to complete a self-study. After completion of the selfstudy, one or more museum professionals conduct a site visit, touring the museum and meeting with staff, governing officials, and volunteers. The surveyors work with the museum and MAP staff to produce a report evaluating the museum's operations, making recommendations, and suggesting resources. The MAP application deadline is July 1.
