Our museum is currently considering a restructuring and re-forming of its Collections Committee, a long-standing committee of our Board of Trustees. I am interested in how such committees typically function at other museums (particularly mid-size history museums), and whether any of your institutions have chosen to change or update these functions in any way, perhaps in light of policy changes. Questions include size, membership (who is appointed to the committee), frequency of meetings, and of course the committee's charge, scope or purview. Do your committees: review and approve acquisitions? review and approve deaccessions? consider loan requests? have input into exhibit selection? other funtions?
Thanks for your assistance!
