Still haven't managed to put up a post, but it's coming soon!
Archive.org has launched an archive of 3,000+ hours of 9/11 TV coverage. It's still hard for me to watch coverage. Does anyone else feel the same way?
Smithsonian Magazine is offering a free museum day across the country. Check out this list to see if there's a museum near you.
The National Media Museum created a platform video game to engage visitors in selecting objects for an exhibit. I don't know if anyone else has been keeping up with gaming in museums, but it's a particularly interesting topic to me.
Urban redevelopment is picking up across the country and St. Louis's Citygarden is an excellent example. Can museums fill similar roles in creating a sense of community?
Pop-up restaurants for museums can offer a great way to engage visitors outside of the traditional visit.

Weekly Links: Aug 13-19
Didn't get a chance to update with anything besides the weekly links this week, but I'll have something on employee orientations and benefits as well as a preview to my Blog Out Loud topic for my local Young Nonprofit Professional Network group.
Only one link this week on museums' emergency plans for WWIII.
Also, if you're looking for a job, be sure to use the #museumjob hashtag on Twitter and be sure to contribute, like @exhibitsmith, if you find jobs others might be interested in.

Weekly Links: Aug 6-12 (late!)
Sorry for the late post of the weekly links.
A street artist recreates real crime scenes to advertise joining the police force. Could museums recreate historic events to promote their institution?
Infographics are both visually pleasing and informational. It would be interesting to see museums adapt this style to exhibits.
The National Museum of American History blogged about collecting the history of digital photography, a new field that will impact museum professionals.
Museum Minute had a great post about visiting a museum with family, rather than as a museum professional. As a graduate assignment, I did something similar and have also had interesting experiences with my family in museums. It's a different experience to go to a museum with someone that you know well, rather than just observing from a distance.
This cool graphic on US Post Offices over time is really great and reminds me of a few museum exhibits I've seen. This graphic is so subtle, I've had to watch it a few times.
There's been a lot of talk about who volunteers in America and how they do it, but this graphic presents it so well.
The Netherlands Museum Association made a great case for the social impact of museums.
This New York Times op-ed is an interesting perspective on how education may change. How do museums fit in?

Weekly Links: July 30-Aug 5
I'm going to try to post some interesting links I find each week! So here we go:
The Museum Insight Blog asks "Why Bother with Young Adults?"
Citizen Science is pretty popular, but what about Citizen History?
The National Portrait Gallery in London is offering a five-sense visitor experience with music, cocktails, drawing, films and even perfume.
The National Portrait Gallery in DC is presenting "Portraits Alive." I think I saw another program like this somewhere, but it was a film. Has anyone seen a similar program?
The Brooklyn Museum is offering a "Choose Your Own Adventure" program where you use your phone to create a tour of the museum.
Look for more links next Friday!
