I hope that you enjoy using the MintWiki as a resource for Mint Museum exhibitions and are able to make use of the special resources on this page.
If you are interested, you can also provide feedback about the exhibitions in the Comments area at the bottom of each page. For example: What are your thoughts on the exhibition? What comments have you gotten from visitors? What pieces do you think exemplify the themes of the exhibition? Do you have additional resources that you use that would be helpful to others? You get the idea.
Any comments you make will be visible to ALL viewers of the MintWiki, so be aware of that as well. This is not the place to air issues, but a way to add to the richness of information available to all docents about exhibitions at the Mint.
In order to add comments, you will need to create an account (it is free!) and log in. The simplest way is to request access and then follow the instructions provided. An email will be sent to me and I will invite you to join the workspace - what PBworks calls the MintWiki. The invitation will state: "We've prepared an account for you to log in." Your user name is your email address. You will need to select a password for your account, enter it in the space provided and then select the link to Log in.
You will be directed to a set up page where you will need to confirm your password. This will take you to your account page. You can set parameters for how your information is displayed to other users and set other preferences.
