Hello All, Let me start by explaining our museum's situation. We were one museum in one location then took over the collection of another museum not to far from ours. The recently acquired collection had its own numbering system and collections policy. Also recently acquired collection is not and will not be stored with the first collection because they are two separate sites under one umbrella. The recently acquired collection has a different area of collecting focus deals with federal government loans, that the first collection does not. Eventually the second site will have its own collections staff along with the collections staff of the first location and both will report to one head collections person. So my question is should I have just one collections policy that covers both places or should I continue with two that have similar sections but are not the same. Sincerely, Christa McCay, M.H.P.
