Our institution is currently putting together a large SOP
(standard operating procedures) binder for the entire museum. Our museum itself is divided into 5
divisions: Operations,
Education/Outreach, Collections, etc.
The question we have is whether or not to place all of our SOP’s into one binder for everyone to have (from the
Museum Director down to the Tour Guides), or to have a general admin binder
that discusses time-off, sick pay and then each division have its own binder
that pertains to the division. In other
words the Collections staff would have a Collections binder that discusses the
Collection Management Policy, loans, that kind of thing. Do most of your institutions have one big
mega binder or separate binders for the specialty areas? Thanks.
