Subject: Re: [MUSEUM-L] Conflict
of Interest?
Thank you for so many
thoughtful responses - excellent points!
Some responses to your questions:
Shana: The curator was
given access to the images after hours (when the museum was closed). I don't
know what equipment was used. Additional images were solicited from the public,
and interested donors were asked to contact the curator at the museum. The
curator met with image donors at the museum, during regular work hours. The
book's acknowledgements thank the museum and state that "unless otherwise
credited the images in this book are from the museum's collection." When
asked about paying fees, the curator responded "If I have to pay for the
images, I am not doing the book." This was my red-flag moment. (I am not
the curator).
Robin: There is a
conflict of interest policy, but it only applies to the board, not staff.
Cedar: This is a done
deal - and it just feels wrong to me, and so I've come to you. So grateful for
your first hand
Barbara: I raised my
concerns with both the director and the board. Blank looks all around . . .
With gratitude -- Beth
