Hi Stephanie from South Dakota! Georgia is also hosting the N. H. exhibit in 2012 and we are pretty much in line with Ohio and Kansas. Our scholar is Ann McCleary - a public historian - from the Center for Public History, University of West Georgia- who also worked with us on Key Ingredients. She had conducted roots/musical programs (her Center has produced several CDs on Georgia roots music- in conjunction with some concerts they presented). In addition, we are putting together an advisory board consisting of some folklore people and others with a musical background. If you want to stay in touch with me - I would love to share some more ideas.

In Kansas we used Dr. Steven Kite, a public history professor at Fort Hays State University. Steven is also a musician and has an area of expertise in American music history. He was the perfect fit for us.

For those states who have already had the exhibit, is it best to look for scholars with Music Ed. backgrounds or is there another discipline I should be focusing on? Thanks for your help!
