Hi Aaron,

We've recently posted a description of the vehicle maintenance procedures for the NC Transportation Museum on our blog, written by Exhibition Coordinator Bob Hopkins and volunteer, Bruce McKeon. Hope you find this link helpful: http://collectionsconversations.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/vehicle-collections-care/

Best regards,

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Conservation and Preservation Policy for cars or race cars?

I am an intern for the Nascar Hall of Fame and I have been given a car preservation/conservation project. The Hall of Fame wants to write a policy that allows for appropriate display, while maintaining the integrity of race car. Our institution would like to gain insight into short and long term display and storage of automobiles. If you have any collection policies for your institution, please feel free to post them or e-mail them to me at: [log in to unmask]
 
y managers would like to review these policies when constructing one for the Hall of Fame.  If you have any recommendations on professional publications or manuals that the Hall of Fame could look into, that would be greatly appreciated as well. Lastly, do you have any particular training or requirements for your staff?
