It is not unusual to ask for resources to care for donated items or
collections, from the donor.

Subject: Advice Needed

I am a graduate student at Tufts University and I'm working on my final 
paper assignment for a class I'm taking.  The assignment requires me to
ask 
question and then use research to support an answer to that question.
My 
question is:  "What course of action should a museum take if it is
presented 
with an object that meets its mission, but it is an object that the
museum 
can not properly care for."  I'm looking for any advice anyone can give
me.  
I know this situation has come up countless times, so if anyone is
willing 
to share their experiences, I would really appreciate your help.

Stephanie Rohwer
