Dear listers-

I have begun voluntering at a War memorial and will soon undertake
accessioning the objects in the collection. The excutive director would like
to hang flags of different societies (POW/MIA, Survivors of Pearl Harbor,
etc.) in the auditorium. The fire marshall has required the flags to be
dipped in flame retardant. My question is whether or not I should accession
the flags (all are modern 5 years old or less). I was thinking they could be
considered similar to the American and State flags that museums fly outside
of their sites, and therefore not a collection object. Ideas? Imput?
