Collin, Purchase Sherry Butcher-Yunghans book Historic House Museums: A Practical Handbook for Their Care, Preservation, and Management. I believe the AAM bookstore sells it. It has checklists and how-to-do sections. Tom Culbertson Head of History and Education Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center -----Original Message----- From: Collin Keel [SMTP:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2000 1:54 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Routine Maintenance List Request Dear Colleagues: I am the director of a small, fledgling museum in Houston. Please contribute items for a routine maintenance list. I have asked our maintenance man to do several cosmetic things, but now is the time to establish a list. Our facility is a 1930s Pioneer Revival Style Lodge. It was built as a reception hall, so it is not technically an historic home, but shares a lot of similarities. A good example of our house's appearance is that of a mountain lodge--with high ceilings, a stone fire place and large rooms. With these facts in mind..... What suggestions can those of you make from an historic homes angle. ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
