You may have heard about the IMLS Connecting to Collections program, but if you haven't, it's worth a look. See http://www.imls.gov/about/collections.shtm One of the things they are funding is the distribution of sets of collections care books. These are free, and they will give away thousands of sets.

Dillard Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 10:25 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MUSEUM-L] old appliances Please excuse any cross posting: Due to the relocation of an aged relative, I have come into the possession of some 1930s era appliances. One is one of the original Maytag washers-cast iron with the wringer attached to the top. The other is a 1920s/1930s refrigerator with a box freezer. I know these are not the usual coveted antiques but when PBS did their 1900s house and in Britain the 1940s house they looked for period pieces to furnish the houses. If anybody could point me in the direction of finding a home for these, I'd appreciate it. I hate throwing things away. Thanks, P. Dillard Archivist George C.
