As a small museum staff person, you are responsible for a lot, including areas outside of your expertise or training. You need a quick reference that makes the process of becoming a sustainable, valued institution less overwhelming. The
Small Museum Toolkit
is a collection of six books that serves as a launching point for small museum staff to pursue best practices and meet museum standards. These brief volumes
address governance, financial management, human resources, audience relations, interpretation, and stewardship for small museums and historic sites. The
Small Museum Toolkit
, written by thirty-four experienced museum professionals, helps you define the questions you should be asking, gives you tools to achieve your goals, and guides you where to go for help.

Benjamin Ives Gilman described the most pleasant of museum visits as one in the company of someone who knows and loves the objects on view. Reading the
Small Museum Toolkit
is a bit like such a 'visit.' Each author serves as a knowledgeable guide helping the reader understand museum practices in the most pleasant way. The information in these pages is so approachable that I recommend it not only to museum staff and volunteers, but also museum board members.
