The U.S. National Museum of the American Indian produced a DVD called "Follow the Object" to document their collections move of a few years ago--I highly recommend it!  They've got a slideshow version of the process on their "Moving the Collection" website athttp://www.nmaimove.si.edu/follow.shtml

That site also has a "Contact Us" page with e-mail contacts for you to inquire about the DVD.

I am trying to locate some sort of museum object handling video to show
new interns, volunteers and employees. Can anyone suggest a good video/DVD
that explains basic artifact/object handling and moving procedures? If
possible could you also tell me where I could purchase this item? Thank
you very much.
