You might check with AAM and see if they have sample Codes of Ethics from
member museums to give you an idea of how the general can be adapted to the
particular.   I know there was a great deal of discussion -- and perhaps
collecting of statements -- when the revised AAM Code came out.  Also try
AASLH since they specialize in history museums and societies.

Does anyone have a short Code of Ethics I can borrow?  AAM has a long one,
with many things that don't apply to us.  I am looking for one that is
shorter, and would apply to an historical museum.


Thank you
David
