I am reviewing the process of our internal exhibition procedures and
will
appreciate any input. My focus is on materials being exhibited in-house
only, not loan materials. Specifically, does your institution have a
formal
policy in place for reviewing materials prior to exhibition to determine
items in need of conservation treatments? If so, who does the reviewing?
How
much time before the opening of the exhibit are materials reviewed? 

 

Please feel free to contact me off-line. Thanks in advance! kate
