Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Catalog from the original exhibition "VOICES OF LOMBARD STREET: A Century of Change In East Baltimore", at the Jewish Museum of Maryland, 2007. From the introduction: "Lombard Street has been a touchstone for generations of Baltimore Jews, first as a center of community life and then as a locus of collective memory. Numerous families can trace their roots to the bustling East Baltimore immigrant neighborhood that surrounded Lombard Street. After moving away, many returned each week to purchase traditional foods and soak up the old-world atmosphere. Even for Jews whose families never actually lived in "the old neighborhood," coming to Lombard Street was like returning to an ethnic past not directly experienced. -- Today, three delis and the campus of the Jewish Museum of Maryland, with its two historic synagogues, are the only physical reminders of the neighborhood's Jewish past. To say that the area has seen many changes would be an understatement. The recent redevelopment of the neighborhood, featuring blocks of brand-new rowhouses that echo the housing stock of the old immigrant enclave, has inspired us to focus renewed attention on our surroundings." -- CONDITION: Near Fine, Soft cover, 10 x 8.5 , 170pp w/ index and notes.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Change is Required: Preparing for the Post-Pandemic Museum is a book about the future of American museums. Like other institutions, museums and zoos, historic sites, gardens, and arboreta, were powerfully affected by the nested crises of the pandemic. These unprecedented crises challenged American museums. Adapting to novel circumstances and uncertainty became the order of the day; improvisation in policy and practice the new norm.Amidst upheavals and disruptions, a number of American museums have charted new directions for themselves and their communities. Many museums have taken a decisive turn to digital programming. Others have taken a turn toward community, developing new kinds of collaborations with their neighbors and local audiences. Still others have moved issues of equity and justice-internally and in the world-to the center of their institutional concerns.In every part of the country-and in every type of museum--museum workers are challenging old assumptions, conventional narratives, and customary practices as they look to the future. In Change Is Required, a unique array of 50 museum professionals--representing different disciplines, positions, and experiences--share their thinking about assessing needs and possibilities, managing people and resources, and building productive new relationships with neighbors, communities, and partner organizations.These authors argue that change is necessary--inside and beyond the museum. It is futile and unproductive to default to the old "normal." To achieve greater relevance, impact, equity, and inclusiveness, museums need to reconsider their leadership models, organizational culture, internal structures, and community collaborations Bristling with personal passion, informed by experience, and focused on the future, the essays in this volume convey the urgency to rethink traditional museum practice, offering visionary-yet practical-routes to future museum success in a volatile, complex, and ambiguous world.In its depth and range, this book constitutes an invitation to join in the growing, lively discourse about possible futures for museums in America. The invitation extends not only to museum professionals, but to all those interested in cultural affairs and institutions.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Jews are part and parcel of American history. From colonial port cities to frontier outposts, from commercial and manufacturing centers to rural villages, and from metropolitan regions to constructed communities, Jews are found everywhere and throughout four centuries of American history. From the early 17th century to the present, the story of American Jews has been one of immigration, adjustment, and accomplishment, sometimes in the face of prejudice and discrimination. This, then, is a narrative of minority-majority relations, of evolving norms and traditions, of ongoing conversations about community and culture, identity and meaning.Interpreting American Jewish History at Museums and Historic Sites begins with a broad overview of American Jewish history in the context of a religious culture than extends back more than 3,000 years and which manifests itself in a variety of distinctive American forms. This is followed by five chapters, each looking at a major theme in American Jewish history: movement, home life, community, prejudice, and culture. The book also describes and analyzes projects by history organizations, large and small, to interpret American Jewish life for general public audiences. These case studies cover a wide range of themes, approaches, formats. The book concludes with a history of Jewish collections and Jewish museums in North America and a chapter on "next practice" that promote adaptive thinking, continuous innovation, and programs that are responsive to ever-changing circumstances.…
