We steer donors to the various professional groups for
appraisers and for rare book dealers. There is info on this in our website FAQ (http://www.rosenbach.org/learn/research/faq)
and we have boilerplate that we use in letters & e-mails.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Appraisal question
Hello
We are looking at a way to "guide" our donors in
obtaining information for their donations to the museum. We know that we
can not appraise items but can we make a listing of site such as Ebay, Abebooks,
Rarebooks and appraisers around the country to post on our website or include
in a letter of receipt? I am looking for examples and guidance.
We are a special museum and not every appraiser will know about
Osteopathy
