Question:  We are revisiting our acquisitons process and i am very
interested in learning the procedure other museums use in determining what
items should or should not be in their collections.
Do you have a committee?  If so, what is it's composition
(staff/board/members/community at large/ combination of above)?  Is your
procedure the same for all items, or is it different for different types of
items (objects, books, archival, etc) or value of items?

Thanks for your input.  This is important as we need to make changes.  The
Museum recently acquired the collection from the Chilkat Valley Historical
Society and their process needs to be modified somewhat to fit our organization.
