BACKGROUND
Overv iew
Defini t ion, Functions, and Financing o f t h e Museum. A museum is "an
organized and permanent nonpro f i t inst i tu t ion, essential ly educational o r
aesthetic i n purpose, w i th professional staff , which owns and ut i l izes tangib le
objects, cares f o r them and exhib i ts them t o t h e pub l ic on some regu lar
schedule". ' Museums are t h e t r u s t e d guardians o f these objects, which i n
t h e aggregate, create a permanent record of t h e wor ld 's cu l tu ra l , scient i f ic,
and natura l heri tage.
T h e th ree funct ions o f museums a r e collection, research, and education,
and museums d i f f e r i n t h e balance t h e y have o f these funct ions. ' T h e
collections are what d is t ingu ish museums f rom o ther research and educational
inst i tu t ions. Research ac t iv i ty , t h a t is, t h e use of t h e collections t o advance
knowledge, allows t h e meaning o f t h e museum objects t o be understood, and
b r i ngs t h e museum collection t o l i fe .
As educational inst i tu t ions, museums attempt t o stimulate t h e imagination,
sharpen powers o f observat ion, and broaden t h e horizons of t h e pub l ic .
Museums encourage an appreciat ion o f o the r societies, o the r times, o the r
wor ld views, animal and p lan t l i fe, and a r t i s t i c expression, and p lay an
important p a r t i n t h e l i fe long process o f education tha t does not take place
w i th in a formal school s t r u c t u r e o r i n p u r s u i t of an academic degree. T h e
main business o f museums may be s a i d t o b e help ing t h e pub l ic t o enr ich
t h e i r l ives.
Broad-based f inancial suppor t has developed w i t h government, business,
foundations, ind iv iduals, and museums con t r i bu t i ng t o suppor t museums. A
su rvey of museums i n t h e Uni ted States conducted i n 1979 b y t h e Ins t i t u te o f
BACKGROUND
h4useum Services, demonstrated t h a t of near ly $1 b i l l ion in total museum
opera t ing income:
( I ) 6.9 p e r cent was f rom t h e federal government;
(2) 12.4 p e r cent was f rom state governments;
(3) 18.7 p e r cent was f rom local governments;
(4) 21.3 p e r cent was f rom ind iv idua l contr ibut ions, memberships,
corporat ions, foundations, and o the r p r i v a t e sources;
(5) 26.5 p e r cent was f rom admission fees, g i f t shop sales, and
res taurant income; and
(6) 14.2 p e r cent was f rom nonoperat ing sources such as investments
and endowments.
As shown above, p r i v a t e cont r ibu t ions and museum revenues total led
almost half of t h e amount o f museum suppor t i n t h e Uni ted States, and
f u n d i n g f rom local and state governments p rov ided about one - th i rd o f t h e i r
income. '
T h e most p ress ing f inancial needs o f museums are c u r r e n t l y f o r general
opera t ing costs and t h e development o f endowments f o r opera t ing expenses;
t h e care and organizat ion o f collections; and capital expenses." It is more
d i f f i c u l t f o r museums t o obta in f u n d i n g f o r museum operat ing and
adminis t rat ive expenses, such as pest contro l and u t i l i t y costs, than f o r
specif ic h igh l y v is ib le pro jects.
Of t h e approximately 5,000 museums in t h e nation, 650 are accredited,
formal ly ind ica t ing t h e i r professional ~ r e d i b i l i t y . ~ Of t h e la t ter , 199, o r
about 30 p e r cent, a re s t r i c t l y government - run and supported. T h e D i rec tor
o f Accredi tat ion o f t h e American Association of Museums estimated tha t t h e
STATE FUNDING FOR THE B I S H O P MUSEUM
number of museums which receive regu lar suppor t f rom government is
probably ciose t o 80 p e r cent, a l though no exact f i gu res were a ~ a i l a b i e . ~
Museums request ing government f u n d i n g must j u s t i f y t h e i r requests t o
governments, as they compete w i th o ther organizat ions f o r l imited budge t
appropr iat ions. As one observer p u t i t , "Return on investment is t h e name
of t h e game histor ical agencies have been fo rced t o learn, because when t h e i r
services are measured against such pub l ic needs as road improvement o r
be t te r schools o r pub l ic housing, h is tor ica l agencies must elaborate on t h e i r
s to ry o f o ld - - tha t t hey preserve t h e her i tage of t h e state and improve t h e
qua l i t y o f l i fe" . '
Along these lines, a s tudy conducted f o r t h e Un i ted States Congress on
t h e attract iveness o f ci t ies f o r prospect ive businesses found t h a t t h e qua l i t y
of l i fe was more important t o expanding and re locat ing f i rms than were
business-related factors, such as tax rates and labor costs. ' Museums, as
cu l tu ra l amenities, a re said t o help make t h e i r communities more pleasing t o
l i ve i n and enable communities t o at t ract , hold, and stimulate business ta lent
and investment, and t h e t o u r i s t dol lar . I n t h i s way, museums may cont r ibu te
t o t h e economic development o f t h e local i ty . '
State F inancing of Museums in t h e Un i ted States
I n o r d e r t o gain a more expansive perspect ive of government f u n d i n g o f
museums, t h e Bureau contacted organizat ions such as t h e American
Association of Museums, t h e National Assembly o f State A r t Agencies, t h e
National Endowment f o r t h e Ar ts , t h e American Association o f State and Local
History, the Smithsonian Ins t i tu t ion Museum Reference Center, t h e Counci l o f
State Governments, and t h e National Conference o f State Legislatures.
However, systematic information regard ing government suppor t t o museums
was v i r t u a l l y unavailable. Therefore, t h e Bureau surveyed legislat ive
research bureaus and regional museum organizat ions i n 49 states regard ing
state museum f u n d i n g i n t h e i r respect ive states. T h e Bureau received
responses f rom 42 states, o r 86 p e r cent o f t h e states surveyed.

STATE FUNDING FOR THE BISHOP MUSEUM
Bishop Museum, t h e American Museum o f Natura l H is tory , a n d t he Fieid
Museum of Natura l H is tory have al l changed f rom hav ing research as the
pr imary ac t i v i t y o f t h e museum t o hav ing research as one o f several p r imary
act iv i t ies of t h e museum.
T h e Bishop Museum is t h e on ly ins t i tu t ion t h a t had less professional
s taf f i n 1986 than i n 1971. I n 1971, the Bishop Museum had t h e lowest
s ta r t i ng salaries f o r professional s taf f , which no longer was the case in 1986.
However, i t s h ighest salary f o r nonprofessional s taf f is t he lowest of t he
independent museums surveyed.
I n 1971, the Bishop Museum's income was well below t h e o ther
independent museums t h a t responded to t h e survey, which was not t r u e i n
1986. Al though the Bishop Museum's sources of income have expanded since
1970, i t s g rowth has not been as dramatic as t h e American Museum of Natura l
H is tory o r t h e Field Museum of Natura l H is tory . T h e Bishop Museum's
expendi tures have shif ted, so tha t c u r r e n t l y t h e emphasis i s on research and
administ rat ive and general operat ing costs, whereas in 1971, t h e emphasis was
on research.
A t t i tudes of Museum Administ rators Toward Museum Fund ing
The Bureau also surveyed administrators a t these ins t i tu t ions about t h e i r
at t i tudes toward museum funding, i n t h e 1987 quest ionnaire. For example,
they were asked what they perceived to be the most desirable fund ing
arrangement f o r t h e i r museum, and t h e advantages and disadvantages of
regular government suppor t t o museums and museum af f i l ia t ion w i th
government. T h e main points o f museum administrators who responded t o o u r
inqui r ies are set f o r t h below.
Indiana State M u ~ e u m . ~ ' The most desirable f inancial arrangement f o r
th is Museum i s a m ix tu re of state and p r i va te fund ing, and grants .
BACKGROUND
T h e disadvantages o f regu lar suppor t is t h e percept ion b y t h e pub l ic
t h a t t h e Museum has al l t h e f u n d i n g it needs. Moreover, t h e State has a
d i f f i c u l t t ime unders tand ing what a museum is and how it f i t s i n to a state
system.
American Museum of Natura l H i ~ t o r y . ~ ' A broad d iverse f u n d i n g base
i nc iud ing substant ial in f la t ion sensi t ive sources supplemented b y endowment o r
o the r investment income and government subsidy is t h e most ideal f u n d i n g
arrangement. Among t h e advantages o f regu lar government suppor t is t h e
stimulus i t gives t o p r i v a t e g i v ing .
Advantages o f be ing operated independent ly f rom government include
nonbureaucrat ic management, freedom f rom l imi t ing government rules on
employment and f iscal management, more responsive work ing condit ions and

T h e Department of A g r i c u l t u r e has benef i ted f rom t h e services p rov ided

insects and related organisms w i th in many d i f f e ren t o rders and does not have

unfamil iar o r uncommon species, t h e exper t ise o f specialists, such as those

available at t h e Museum, are requ i red . I n Hawaii, t h e r e are many agencies
and indiv iduals invo lved i n pro jects requ i r i ng ident i f icat ion o f insects and t h e
numbers of requests f o r ident i f icat ion f a r exceeds t h e workload o f t h e state
taxonomists.
Each ident i f icat ion would be wor th $500 t o $1,000, b u t i s g iven t o t h e
Department by t h e Museum f r e e o f charge.
Improvements a t t h e Museum could be made b y increasing s ta f f t o inc lude
specialists far orders o f insects f o r which t h e r e are c u r r e n t l y no specialists.
Also, more technicians could be added t o re l ieve t h e specialists o f rou t ine
work, so they may concentrate on research.
Services p rov ided b y t h e Museum have been excel lent and v e r y prompt .
However, t h e terminat ion o f t h e malacologist's posit ion has ser iously cur ta i led
ident i f icat ions o f snails and slugs, which are serious pests o f p lants and are

T h e Museum is i n a posit ion t o b e a wor ld class au tho r i t y on Pacific

CONTRIBUTION OF THE BISHOP MUSEUM
According t o t h e Department, a l though these services were bel ieved t o
be necessary and desirable a t t h e time they were solicited, o thers besides t h e
Bishop Museum could p rov ide similar services.
Department o f Business and Economic Development3
T h e Museum does no t c u r r e n t l y p rov ide t h e Department w i t h any

A recent cont rac t between t h e State and t h e Museum, administered b y
t h e Department, p rov ided f o r t h e services o f a "State Geographer", b u t t h i s
work was not f r e e o f charge.
Previously, t h e Department received considerable assistance from t h e
Museum's Geography and Mapping Department. I n 1984, t h e Museum's
Geographer/Cartographer, helped i n t h e preparat ion o f t h e Department map o f

However, t h e Geography and Mapping Div is ion was abolished by t h e

T h e Bishop Museum s ta f f have always been viewed as colleagues ra the r

p reh i s to ry . T h i s in teract ion was considered t o b e v e r y desirable and
necessary t o a museum tha t advances science (as contrasted w i th one tha t
merely passes it along).
Museum research posit ions should b e restored. Many of t h e scholars t h e

T h e changes over t h e years in t h e relat ionship between t h e Department

Previously, p r inc ipa l in teract ion w i t h t h e Museum was centered around

Hawaii-oriented, due t o t h e specialties o f t h e s ta f f members.
STATE FUNDING FOR THE BISHOP MUSEUM
T h e Museum is an internat ional ly known reposi tory f o r Hawaiian and
Pacific studies, par t icu lar ly i n the area of cu l tu ra l studies. T h e State of
Hawaii must encourage more research and s tudy on i t s own cu l tu res and i t s
own expressive resources, no t on ly t o b r i n g them in to t h e pu rv iew o f t h e
internat ional cu l tu ra l community, b u t also t o preserve and perpetuate them f o r
t h e resident community. The leadership for bu i l d ing such resources must
come f rom wi th in the State ra the r than f rom outs ide scholars.
One o f t he ways o f suppor t ing such a development is t o p rov ide tangib le
suppor t t o the Museum. Al though it is a p r i va te organization, it provides
much inpu t f o r t h e pub l ic sector as well as the p r i va te sector. It would be a
shame and an embarrassment i f t h e Museum became a second-rate ins t i tu t ion
