Hello,

My name is Seann Gallagher and I am looking for an anthropologist in the Washington D.C. area who can speak to me about American culture and Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

I work for a documentary film company called Kensington Communications and we are producing a series called Museum Secrets; broadcast through History Television, National Geographic, BBC World and others. In each episode we feature a different world famous museum focusing on a few select artifacts in their collection. Our current episode is on the Smithsonian where they have several Harley-Davidson's. We are interested in doing a story about one of the bikes where we would look at the motorcycle's history & the distinctive features of the bike (it's sound, for instance), but also use the artifact as a way into the bigger story of Harley-Davidson's influence on American society.

Would someone from your association be able to speak to me about this subject? Please have any interested parties get in touch as soon as possible. I can call any interested anthropologists at their convenience to explain our project in more detail. I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have and can be reached either by telephone at 416-504-0001, ext. 236 or by e-mail. In the meantime, this website should provide you with a sense of the approach to the series: http://www.museumsecrets.tv

Thanks again taking my call today and for considering our request.

Best,

Seann Gallagher
