Hello all! This is my first time posting, but I am hoping you can help me with something. I'm taking a graduate course at JHU where the teacher wants me to ask other professionals their opinions so we can devise a final project for me. Here's my question...What is the difference between collections care (preventive conservation) and collections management?

I'm tasked with writing a Wikipedia article and there is one on collections care already, but it's pretty generalized and we want to make an in-depth, management policy-type article, but we also do not want to simply restate what's already been said. Thoughts?
