Definitions Project
Through 2006, representatives from over two dozen federal agencies, nonprofit professional organizations, and not-for-profit organizations came together to agree on the definitions of common terminology used by interpreters, environmental educators, historians, and others in nonformal settings such as parks, aquariums, zoos, nature centers, historic sites, and museums.

The result of their work is included in this website and is available copyright-free for download or web-based use by anyone who needs it. Please also feel free to provide a direct link to this website from your organization's website.

Museum-Ed
For several years, the museum education community has discussed issues and ideas on the Museum-Ed Discussion List. In order to support and build on the achievements of the Museum-Ed Discussion List, this new Web site was created to provide a forum for resources like professional research or museum materials that cannot be distributed on the Discussion List.
