Heritage and Museum Studies

Storyboard Outline

The topic areas outlined below provide some broad headings under which relevant content can start to be gathered. This wiki should be used as a drafting board for information that is currently in your head. The idea is to get it down here. Don't dwell on making it perfect. You can come back to it as often as you like to massage and tweak. Tell the stories, collect the resources - photographs, readings, urls,etc. Once there is content to work with then we can take the next step and begin to build learning resources.
