Dear MCN Colleagues, We need your help with really important Kickstarter project. Museum-Ed has launched a project to digitize all 12 years of The Docent Educator, a publication designed for museum docents and the educators who work with them, with articles written by leaders in our field. This content is still timely, and if we don?t do the important work of digitizing The Docent Educator, all of that great content will be lost to our field for good. Let?s not let that happen. Here?s what you can do to help.
Even though you can make a contribution to the Kickstarter campaign (we?d love it if you did), what would really help is for you to get your library and docents involved. For a $250 contribution to the campaign, we?ll send you (your library or museum) a hard-bound volume of every page of the entire 12 years of The Docent Educator. What a great resource to add to your museum education library, whether it lives in your museum?s library, docent lounge or your office. We have three weeks left to raise just under $10,000, and if we don?t raise that amount, we get nothing. Learn more about the project at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1857877564/the-docent-educator-online. Together we can all make a difference in archiving the history of our field. Thanks in advance for your help, and please don?t hesitate to write to me if you have questions, etc. Scott Sayre Ed.D. Editor, Museum-Ed scott at museum-ed.org
