Dear List,
Would anyone like to weigh in on the question of collections insurance?
Ours is up for renewal and we got quite a boost in the rate. We haven't
made a claim in years because of a $5,000 deductible. There is also a
request from the insurance company of a schedule of collections with values.
We have about 17,000 objects in our collections plus 1,000,000+ manuscripts
and 75,000+ library volumes. We could print out a list of objects but there
are no values assigned. In the past we have declared a lump sum value and
hoped for the best. In today's economic climate we are trying to make a
rational decision. What has anyone else experienced?
