I'm starting out in a museum career and although I have some experience in working with a collection at a National Park I would like to further read up on the subject. Focusing on topics such as maintenance of a collection, annual cleaning and planning, how to organize the assecion and deassecion of items and other general curatorial duties. There must be some texts on the subject.
