Hi. A Legal Primer on Managing Museum Collections by Marie C. Malaro is excellent. Published in its second edition in 98. Not sure of the current price. The author is "an attorney who has devoted most of her career to advising and educating the museum community" (according to the back of the book.

Best wishes,

Alice Stock
