HST HISTORY IN THE WILD

The purpose of writing a polished draft, which means you haven’t finished the project, but you have made your argument and format as perfect as possible, is to ensure that you will do well in your final project.  To that end, this must be turned in to receive credit for your final project.  This is a great time to reference the samples under Module 1, keeping in mind your project will not take that exact form.

First and, above all, you must show that you have conceptualized a sophisticated and original museum program for a specific institution and a specific audience.  This IS a work in progress but this is what you should aim to include, in some form:

Detailed overview of the project you propose

Discussion of how your program fulfills or relates to the institution’s mission

Discussion of how the program fills a need or addresses a challenge in the institution

• Discussion of who the program is aimed at and how they will benefit
• Explanation of the results or intended outcomes of your program
• A brief discussion of a timeline for your program
• A brief discussion of the budget for your program, including why it’s wise to invest here
• Conclusion
