Creel Administrator of Programs Pink Palace Family of Museums Memphis, TN 38016 ________________________________ From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Anne Lane Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 10:34 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Current Data on Artifact Processng Costs? Hello - I have tried to find this information in the archives, but am not having any luck, so I'm turning to the group. Does anyone have current data on the average per-object costs of processing? I'm looking for the whole nine yards - writing descriptions and condition reports, marking and tagging, digital imaging, a bit of cleaning, housing. We are a history museum, so we have a wide variety of materials. I'm not looking for somebody to research this for me, I'm just hoping somebody has already had to do this for their own collection and would be willing to share. Many thanks, Anne T. Lane Anne T.
