I am preparing a presentation about collecting ethics –
in other words, gently reminding those who work with our museum that it is
unethical to collect in the areas in which our museums collect. There is
a lot of information regarding staff, and even board members being restricted
from collecting in the same areas as their museums, however I haven’t
been able to find much regarding the standards for docents or volunteers.
Could anyone point me to an article or discussion that I might be able to use,
or provide some insight from their own experiences? I would greatly appreciate
it.
