Abstract: The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) requests approval to collect information as part of its Museum Assessment Program (MAP) under the Paperwork Reduction Act. MAP is a technical assistance program that offers museums an opportunity to strengthen operations and plan for the future through a process of self-assessment, institutional activities, and consultative peer review. Program participants choose from among four assessments: Organizational, Collections Stewardship, Community and Audience Engagement, and Education and Interpretation. The participant museum completes a self-study workbook; a peer reviewer visits the museum; the peer reviewer, staff, and leadership engage in pre-arranged activities; and the peer reviewer provides a written report with prioritized recommendations reflecting the assessment type chosen. The participant museum may request a follow-up visit after the original visit has been completed. The purpose of this information collection is to support the administration and implementation of MAP.
