A neighboring museum has decided to impose a one year moratorium on accepting donations for their museum. They are asking if we would be willing to be on a list to receive donations during this time as we share similar collecting policies. We are a county museum and they are a city museum within that county. They are asking us to notify them if any outstanding items that meet their criteria are offered to us. We think a signed agreement between our boards is needs. Have any other museums experienced this request? What suggestions can you share with us?
