Lisa,

I know that Greensboro, NC's museum is city owned while the collection is
owned by the historic society.  Likewise, Orange County Regional History
Center in Orlando, FL is the same except it's owned by the county.

Subject:  county vs private???


Hello all!

      First-I would like to thank all of those wonderful individuals who
responded about the plexiglass case.  I am still searching but do
appreciate
the response.

      We are in the early stages of undergoing a change in ownership.  The
private nonprofit organization that manages the three museums (they
actually
saved the main structure in 1972) is talking to the county folks about the
county taking over.  The private org. would still own the collections but
the
county would lease them and insure the collections (the county physically
owns the buildings).  There is some discussion about whether the museums
would go under Recreation or Parks.  I would think that we would go under
Parks since we are historic sites.  Has anyone undergone this procedure?
Is
anyone out there county owned that could give me some basis on how it run?
There are many, many factors to consider and I would appreciate any
feedback
you could give me.

Thanks,
Lisa Mason-Chaney
