This question is directed to those registration departments or collections
management offices who are asked to make their accession files available to
researchers. To what extent do you allow full access? What kind of records do
you redact from the files before handing them over to scholars, visiting
curators, students, docents, and the general public? Do you permit
photocopying of the records? Do you get flak if you attempt to restrict file
access to museum staff only?
