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.
