M. Christine Castle - Consulting Services

I bring to my consulting practice more than three decades of experience working in museums, galleries
and historic sites, beginning as an architectural researcher, a costumed historical interpreter, and the curator/director of first a community history museum and later an historic house/art gallery. Since becoming a consultant in 1988 I have worked with a variety of clients including art galleries, community museums, heritage sites, archives and professional associations and government agencies at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels. See my Client List.

I provide purpose-built solutions tailored to each unique setting. In order to help a client achieve his or her mission and goals, I am able to:

Research good practices
Provide advice on informal learning, museum education and historical/natural interpretation to assist the development of new museums, galleries and heritage sites
Facilitate overall strategic planning, development, and implementation for existing museums and heritage sites
Carry out community consultations and needs assessments
Review and evaluate the impact of existing museum education programs
Identify and develop training and professional development opportunities for staff and volunteers
Help create and build up new programs, both in-person and Web-based, for people of all ages

I am happy to provide one hour free consulting if you are considering a project, big or small, in one of these areas. Contact me here.
