Progress since Draft 1

Since submitting my first draft, I have made good progress and am slowly becoming more confident in the trajectory for my paper. I have just this last week decided to change my research question and direction in which I want my paper to take. The deeper I delved into this case study, the more I realized it is a very singular situation and forming best practices from this may not be possible. So I am now treating my paper simply as a case study of the carousel and how the RMSC is serving the community and the role the museum is playing. Aside from this, I have been moving right along in gathering information. Here is a list of the work I have done since I have submitted draft 1:
