The Tennessee Aquarium has joined a nationwide program to ensure that guests of all financial means can experience adventures from the mountains to the sea. Museums for All is a signature access program of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM). Through its participation in the program, the Aquarium joins more than 1,400 institutions nationwide in a shared commitment to seek, include, and welcome all audiences by offering reduced admission to eligible members of the public.

Museums and trust: Case Two. If people don't regularly visit museums, it doesn't mean they don't see them as essential in their community. Attendance can surge if entry is less expensive, or free. #museums #audience #public https://lnkd.in/gWNScaEM https://lnkd.in/gv3HU_Xc https://lnkd.in/gm-fmWCs

✒ I love this kind of public involvement in heritage and have even sent off an email myself to Hampshire Museums to get a page to decipher! 🤞 📑 Transcription is a tricky thing, I've had some experience with it during my career, and trying to read handwriting is both fun and challenging! ❗ The top tips to remember are: ✍ Write exactly what you see - mistakes, weird spellings, abbreviations and all. ✍ Don't be tempted to guess a word if you're not sure. Make a note so someone else can check it later. ✍ Document catalogues are now designed to be accessed online. So, add as many comments, notes, and spelling updates as possible in the correct fields. This will help the document to be more searchable by researchers. 👋 Need help with writing or reading documents in English?  Let’s connect! 🏛 I help arts and heritage students and professionals improve their communication skills and confidence 👩🏫 Don’t forget to follow me and ring the bell 🔔 on the profile to catch all my posts #archives #janeausten #heapoffacts #transcription #history #englishwriting
