>I was wondering if anyone has done any computations which lead to
estimating the cost of keeping individual objects stored/displayed/etc. in
perpetuity. It would be an interesting figure to influence museums with a
fluid collections policy. Timothy Lupin (New Orleans)

News 66, 1988, (5): 74).

management in UK museums (HMSO, London 1989).
Ten years old, but still valid in my opinion.
