Hello All,

Let me start by explaining our museum's situation.  We were one museum  
in one location then took over the collection of another museum not to  
far from ours.  The recently acquired collection had its own numbering  
system and collections policy.  Also recently acquired collection is  
not and will not be stored with the first collection because they are  
two separate sites under one umbrella. The recently acquired  
collection has a different area of collecting focus deals with federal  
government loans, that the first collection does not.  Eventually the  
second site will have its own collections staff along with the  
collections staff of the first location and both will report to one  
head collections person.

So my question is should I have just one collections policy that  
covers both places or should I continue with two that have similar  
sections but are not the same.

Sincerely,

Christa McCay, M.H.P.
