Our institution is now in the process of developing a disaster plan. We are now at the stage of identifying collections priorities. We have approximately 60,000 artifacts in our collection. A majority of the collection has been appraised for monetary purposes. About a third of the collection has little or no documentation. Our current curatorial staff have been around for about 3.5 years. There is not much to go by in terms of determining value to the constantly changing, growing community of which we are part of. We are interested in hearing from other museums that have been through this process & how priorities were concluded. Thanks.
