The following link to a web page, on my History of The Buhl Planetarium and
Institute of Popular Science web site, provides copies of three staff
manuals used at Buhl.

These illustrate how Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science
exhibits and programs were taught to Floor Staff members and volunteers, for
interpretation to the public, in three different eras. Included are staff
manuals produced in 1954, the mid-1970s, and 1983. Each staff manual is
presented, in its entirety:
