Hi Jeff -

You might also look at the book, "Riches, Rivals, and Radicals: 100 Years
of Museums in America" by Marjorie Schwarzer for an historical view of the
museum field generally.  Published in 2006 but revised and updated in 2012.

Available at AAM https://www.aam-us.org/ProductCatalog/Product?ID=198

Best,
Cricket
