There will be a session at the AAM meeting on Saturday (Small Museum Day)
about risk management for small museums.   Robert Salmon (who has more than
20 years of experience with museum insurance) will be on the panel -- along
with panelists on basic security and fire protection.   The session will be
available on tape after the meeting.

Please reply on list. As a small museum (and others I have spoken with)
we are always in search of something better than the typical modified
