<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">As part of a grant project funded by the Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries, I am sending out a survey to incorporate into the website I am developing as the main
part of the project. In the words of museum maven, Nina Simon from her book <i>The Art of Relevance: </i>"When you ask outsiders what is relevant to them, you don't just learn what matters to them. You learn what matters to you, what protocols you are able
or willing to shift and which you are not." The information gained from this survey will be invaluable to my goal of identifying what kind of interpretation people want to see at cemeteries. I appreciate your thought and effort on this survey and look forward
to sharing the results with you! - Kirsten Straus<o:p></o:p></span></p>
