Good Afternoon: We do not have collections plan yet, but we do have a scope of collections, which does outline what we do and do not collect. It is as follows: SCOPE OF COLLECTIONS The Museum is dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition, and interpretation of historically, culturally, and aesthetically significant artifacts of all types that relate to and accentuate the life and accomplishments of Octave Chanute, Illinois aviation pioneers, Chanute Air Force Base Technical Training Command, Illinois aviation industries, and the community of Rantoul Illinois with an emphasis on the period of 1850 to the present time. The museum is also dedicated to the collection of relevant educational, hands-on collections and the expansion of its aviation research library collection. Hopefully this helps. . . Mark D.
