Minerva Online was originally conceived as a forum to publish the research of SF State Museum Studies students and alumni. However, we welcome articles and reports from all museum professionals and students. Topics should invlove any aspect of museum studies or conservation, as well as related subjects such as historic preservation. Book, film, video, and exhibit reviews will also be considered. Interested authors should read the "Guidelines for Authors" section below. Any questions can be addressed to the Museum Studies Webmaster.
