I am not sure if this is what you are looking for and really, its more of a guideline than anything else but the National Park Service has published it's Museum Handbook online, available at www.cr.nps.gov/museum/ Chapter 13 of Part 1 is entitled "Museum Housekeeping" and Appendix F of the same section is called "Museum Collections Management Checklist" I scanned both briefly and they seemed to be a good source. Let me know if it is useful to you.
