Hello all,

Our board is in the process of reviewing the insurance carried by the institution.  We are a small historical society with two historic houses, a collection of approximately 10,000 objects, large archival and library holdings and the largest collection of works by Arthur Wesley Dow, an American painter and arts educator.

I was hoping that some of you might be willing to share with us your policies and guidelines regarding insurance.  We've found some general information off of the NEMA and AAM websites but nothing specific about policy coverage and limits.

Right now we have a General Liability and Property Policy(which was described to me as a typical Homeowners Policy), Workers Compensation Policy and a Directors and Officers Liability Policy with what we think is a $1 Million liability and assessed value on the two houses and some of the collection.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Katherine Chaison
