Draft Management Recommendations for the African Burial Ground. Chapter 6. Choices for the Future
Part of the Archaeology of African Burial Ground National Monument, New York project
Author(s): National Park Service
Year: 2006
Summary
Chapter 6 of the draft recommendations: This chapter examines alternative futures for the African Burial Ground. It describes four possible management scenarios, along with facilities and staffing requirements. Expanded programming from that currently offered is assumed in all alternatives, and estimated costs are discussed for each. Costs include facilities and associated staffing, and are expressed in 2005 dollars. The NPS technical assistance team conducted a charrette with architects, exhibit designers, and interpretive professionals to estimate space, exhibit and staffing needs for each alternative. Facilities needs resulting from the charrette were also confirmed utilizing a model developed by the National Park Service to determine visitor facility requirements in units of the National Park System. The relationship of the alternatives to interpretation and educational programming is more fully discussed in Chapter 7 of this report.
