  12. What is interpretation?

  13. Interpretation is the art of sharing with others meaning and relevance in the world around us.

  14. Interpretation . . . helps people to connect intellectually, emotionally, or spiritually with ideas, beliefs, and values.

  15. Interpretation . . . is based on facts, but reveals what an object, place, feature or event means and why it matters—why it is relevant.

  16. Fact, meaning and relevance What’s the difference?

  17. Fact:This Remington Standard typewriter, Model 8, was manufactured by Wycoff, Seamans & Benedict. First introduced in October 1897, it features a 9.25” platen length, and 42 keys.

  18. What it means:The invention of typewriters like this Remington Standard Model 8 helped propel the women’s equal rights movement by creating suitable, respectable positions for women in the workplace.

  36. There are many different audiences for interpretation. But each visitor is seeking something of value – a physical, intellectual, inspirational or emotional experience.

  37. A “visitor” is anyone who experiences Fort Monroe’s themes and stories – even via the Internet.

  38. The Interpretive Master Plan creates opportunities for the widest possible range of visitors to explore personal connections with Fort Monroe -- while ensuring that its historical resources remain unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.
