Research Underway

Scrubbing away with sand and a "holystone!"

The Research Study at the USS Constitution Museum got underway in November 2004 with the goal of disseminating family learning findings to small history museums. (Although we think most of our research can be applied to institutions of all sizes) We'll share each step of our project on this site so you can read about our successes and challenges!

•
 Project Overview... a brief summary of the chronology and goals of the family learning project
•
 Exhibition Development Process... an outline of the steps leading you through the development of a "research platform" exhibit
• Exhibit Floor Plans & Visuals... a series of illustrations sharing aspects of the prototype interactives and exhibit elements
• Prototype Designs... a description of the seven interactive prototypes developed by the exhibit team
• Reading List... a collection of articles and books on family learning topics and the exhibit development process
