Dear Colleagues,

I am seeking examples of museum policies on providing research access to
collections.  At the moment we have a policy for archival/photographic
research, but only a mention of historical object research. As we are about
to receive some materials of scientific interest, I am aware that our
current policy may be inadequate and require some revision to be more
general and protective. I would like to read broader covering policies for
access and publication, particularly where the researcher's findings will be
published in a scientific journal. You may cc responses to the museum email
address below, [log in to unmask]
