> Hi
> 
> I am working as a consultant for the George Meany Memorial 
> Archives (part of
> the National Labor College in Silver Spring).  For many 
> years, the NLC has
> collected works of art but has had no collections policy.  
> They are finally
> beginning to address the situation.  I told them that I would 
> try to find
> some sample policies.
> 
> One of the major decisions they need to make is whether to 
> think of their
> collection as a museum collection of permanent value of a corporate
> collection.  I know that the standards of care should not 
> differ too much,
> but I definitely want them to consider how the policies would differ
> depending on the purpose of the collection.
> 
> Thank you.
