The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) was established when the Museum and Library Services Act was passed by Congress in 1996. Library-museum partnerships have been an IMLS priority since the organization's inception. The primary mission of the IMLS is to empower libraries and museums with the resources to connect people to information and ideas. Helping to underwrite the alliance between libraries and museums is an integral part of that mission. Among the IMLS' directives to stimulate library-museum partnerships is the International Strategic Partnership Initiative. Through this program, American libraries and museums are encouraged to share with and learn from others engaged in library and museum work around the globe. A site search reveals several archived reports about library-museum collaborations.

Your blog looks great Patricia! I'm also interested in the relationships between libraries & museums. I hope to learn more about such things in the future.
The Karpeles Manuscript Library in downtown Buffalo is a fun day trip if you have the time. :-)
