I was remiss in not mentioning earlier that the STePS manual that AASLH has put together is a good set of general guidelines for all aspects of small historical institutions.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Reference and Scholarships

I am interning at a small, historic-house museum and serving as their  
collections manager this semester, attempting to put the collections  
into order. I had two questions and any information would be greatly  
appreciated:
1) Is there a basic reference manual for museum professionals that  
explains cataloging, preservation, and exhibition methods and  
procedures?
2) Are there scholarships/grants available for small, private house  
museums that enable them to purchase archiving and preservation  
materials?
