I think collections people have long been toiling for accountability AND
accessability. If the paradigm were shifted slightly to accountability FOR
accessability, I think it would focus even folks in the deepest recesses of
the museum's most removed off-site storage areas on the reasons we collect and
preserve in the first place--to serve our audience (visitors, scholars, etc.)
