Our Collections Committee consists of the curators, the collections
manager, the registrar, members of the Board, and members from the
community. The Committee deals primarily with acquisitions over a certain
dollar amount, acquisitions of a controversial nature, and all
deaccessions. They have, therefore, little to do with day to day work. We
foresee a greater role for them in collecting for exhibitions in our
proposed new museum and other renovation and expansion work.

Hope this helps.
