I, too, would be very interested in your report.  We have two branches of
our museum at universities, both with collections that need a great deal of
conservation and have serious collections management issues.  We have just
touched the tip of those but are getting ready to jump in with both feet.
Any background on what other museums are doing or facing is greatly
appreciated.
