[Bcma-l] Dissertation Research: Tiering Collections

[bcma-l@museumsassn.bc.ca]

Hello Laura,

    The best study with follow-up action ever done to inventory, 
re-organize, and deaccession historical artifacts from a highly inflated 
holding in Canada was performed at the Saskatchewan Western Development 
Museum in the late1980s. Dr. David Richeson, now retired, spearheaded and 
documented this huge, successful project. His Email address is above. 
Possibly he can help-out a bit.
