I gather there is no central clearing house for museums with requests to acquire items or need to deaccession. The National Park Service uses a central clearing house. Would such a service be practical or even possible? A national registry would be of invaluable service. Are there any cases of museums establishing mutual support agreements in this area? Small, emerging museums such as ours would benefit greatly from such arrangements and large institutions may find many smaller museums useful outlets and sometimes resources for donated items capable of enhancing a collection. By the way, should your museum not need to add donated items of a military nature to your collection, please give us consideration. Wayne Hart Museum of Valor [log in to unmask]
