Our policy on donor responsibility varies.  Ideally, we appreciate if 
they can transport their objects or pay for shipping.  However, there 
are some cases where the items are traveling far and would be a great 
benefit to our museum, or the donor cannot easily leave their home.  In 
those cases, we will offer to pay part or all of shipment or we will 
travel and retrieve the pieces.  The decision is determined based on the 
situation and we do not have a specific set of rules, but we do have a 
budget set aside for all things related to our collections from which 
these costs are taken.
