My institution is beginning the process of writing a comprehensive code of ethics that will cover the range of activities at the museum, including collections, exhibitions, education, research, development and administration. In developing these ethical policies, we will draw from codes of ethics issued by AAM, AASLH and ICOM, as well as from codes specific to fields within the museum and research worlds, such as the Society of American Archivists and the AAM Curators Committee. However, the code of ethics we ultimately write will be specific to the museum's mission, collections, staffing and communities the museum serves. To guide and inform the development of this policy, I am interested to read ethics policies written and implemented by other museums, libraries and archives, especially in the history field. If your institution would be willing to share its code of ethics, please contact me directly at [log in to unmask] Thanks.
