Evaluation and Visitor Research

Evaluation and Visitor Research (EVR) Special Interest Group

The Evaluation and Visitor Research Special Interest Group (EVRSIG), established in 1996, is a group of museum professionals dedicated to advocating for the visitor voice within museum practice.

We recognise that:

1. The visitor is a joint partner in the interpretation of culture
2. Evaluation and visitor research is integral to the practice of the new museology
3. Visitor evaluation and research is a rapidly developing field in Australasia
4. There is a need for a professional forum through which theory, methodology and findings are shared and standards of practice established
