Excerpt from Report of the Provincial Museum of Natural History: For the Year 1937I want to tender my most cordial thanks to the Canadian Museums Committee of the Carnegie Corporation for their liberality in financing this study-trip and to the directors and staff members Of the museums visited for their whole-hearted co-operation in further ing and facilitating my investigations.As must always be the case, much of what was learned cannot be set forth in any formal report, but must remain in the recesses Of the mind and note-book of the Observer, to make their. Appearance as the appropriate occasions arise. The following report pretends to be no more than a summary of certain of the outstanding museum methods encountered.In this survey I had three Objectives - namely, to study methods Of museum extension developed by the various institutions, to acquaint myself with the most effective display techniques adapted to the various. Fields of natural history and ethnology, and the most economical ways of carrying out these displays. Where time permitted I hoped to be able also to examine certain mammal specimens of critical importance to studies now in progress.In each instance my Observations were made with an eye for methods and techniques that would lend themselves to adaptation to the conditions in a small museum with but limited funds.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
