Sally-Beth-
Received my copy of REED in Review yesterday-great stuff!
(Always good to find one's name in the index.) This is just an elbow
joggle about the NEH report. Mainly what I need is what was
accomplished July 2004-June 2006 on projects other than London, which
you covered in the Mellon report. A couple of things NEH asks for in
the report that I'm not sure I've covered well before:
--Audiences: what info do we have about audiences for the work,
especially anything quantitive? E.g., I imagine you have figures re:
use of the patrons web site. Any other similar data I could wow them
with?
--Evaluation: it strikes me that at least a couple of kinds of
evaluation of REED as a whole, if not the work of the past two years,
have been done: REED in Review itself incl. some evaluation, and there
was the site visit, etc. in which Bill Ingram was one of the visitors.
I think I could probably find the official name of that evaluation in
the Exec materials, but you probably have it at the front of your
mind-as well as, perhaps, a summary of its findings?
I will mention that we send NEH a copy of each volume on publication,
but will also send a copy of the brochure (I kept one for myself, but
will sacrifice) as additional evidence of REED's success. Think that's
it for the moment. cheers,
Peter
