I would be really interested in this too. We have boxes and piles of exhibit drawings that are have turned the design section of the museum into a tinderbox. I would also be interested to see what other institutions are doing with electronic files.
Hi All,
I know this is a long dead conversation, but I have a follow up. Do any
of you have language regarding getting rid of non-collection exhibition
material. Specifically graphic panels, text rails, banners, etc. Storage
is an issue, and we need to start discarding exhibition panels from old
shows. Obviously there are many justifications (when would we ever
rebuild an old show??), but the history in our institution has been to
treat the items like they are publications and are therefore the
official record of the exhibition. I am arguing that a detailed as-built
script keyed to a graphic/artifact notebook or database is the real
record and eliminate the need for the actual materials.
Thoughts?
