THE INTERPRETIVE PROCESS MODEL

Tangible resources

• Tangible resources can be objects, places, people, or events.
•  Resource professionals seek to preserve, conserve, and remember tangible resources. 
• Tangible resources include events (historical and natural) and people from the past.

Identify intangible meaning

• Audiences wish to connect personally to the subject and/or resource. 
• Sometimes this occurs through their understanding of context, insight, discovery, revelation the intellectual. 
• Other times it comes through the emotions - enjoyment, sensation, spirit, renewal, empathy, wonder, challenge.

Identify universal concept

• Universal concepts are intangible meanings that are relevant to almost everybody. 
• They are powerful vehicles that reach many people in significant ways. 
• Like all intangible meanings, universal concepts can be linked to a tangible resource.

Identify audience

• All audiences who want to visit or read about a site are seeking something of value for themselves. 
• They all expect something special. Each has a personal sense of what the place means.
• Many know a great deal about the resource, some know what family or friends have told them, and others simply assume the resource contains something worthwhile.

Write a theme statement-include  a universal concept

• Interpretive themes: 

1. Are single sentences that express meaning;
2. Link a tangible resource to its intangible meanings;
3. Organize interpretive products;
4. Are most powerful when they link a tangible resource to a universal concept.
