Interesting for our educational purposes! I'll contact you.2016-01-12 17:18 GMT-05:00 Scher Thomae, Dawn <[log in to unmask]>:Dear wise museum colleagues:
I need some perspective. I have about 400 museum brochures and museum guides from museums around the world (not this museum) in my department in vertical file boxes taking up prime real estate. They date from about 1965 to around 1990 and most collected by three or four past curators on several trips. I am wondering if they should be archived somewhere else (on-site at our museum or off-site--suggestions for a place?), send each museum their brochure (nostalgia?) or just ditch them. I am trying to think of a reason to keep them. No one has looked at them in the last 20 years, at least, and with everything electronic now, there is no need to keep them as information resources (except to chuckle at some of the admission fees).
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Please contact me off-site at [log in to unmask]
Thank you,
