Dear All-I've begun working at a small museum that is beginning to
establish an archives and research library. For many years, items have
been collected and housed under the pretense of an archive. One
particular question I have is with regards to the housing of exhibit
research materials. Is it necessary to place past exhibit materials
within the institution's collection or should it be housed in a
different manner? In addition to past exhibits, photographs used in the
exhibits have been added to the permanent photographic collection. May I
maintain these photos for educational purposes and keep them separate
from the institution's permanent collection? Please advise. Thanks!
Jess
