Hi Robin

In your post to Sylvia Bruner you refer to the "UNESCO Code of Ethics for 
Museums".  You must mean the ICOM Code of Ethics for Museums;  you can view 
the text at http://icom.museum/professional-standards/code-of-ethics/ . The 
International Council of Museums will be celebrating the 70th anniversary of 
founding this year with the publication of a book on Museums, Ethics and 
Cultural Heritage.

Geoffrey Lewis
(Past Chair of the ICOM Ethics Committee)

Hi Sylvia,

You may have already thought of this, but have you considered the Code of 
Ethics as published by the Museum's Association in the UK? Generally this is 
the policy that all museums in the UK should adhere to, whether accredited 
or not. I would be interested to learn about the requirements for the Code 
of Ethics for accredited museums in the US and who stipulates these 
requirements. For example, is it required that a proposed Code of Ethics is 
assessed against an existing framework or guided by broader codes such as 
the UNESCO Code of Ethics for Museums?

Regards

Robin

Greetings!

My museum is undergoing re-accreditation and we need to improve our Code of 
Ethics.  Our committee would appreciate any examples of other's documents 
that we could review.  If you would like to reply off-line, my email is:
