[BCMA] Princeton Museum Requests Help

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Dear Colleague:

I write to you today as a Director of the Princeton & District Museum & 
Archives to ask for your assistance with some aspects of museum 
management.Briefly, our Museum has undergone dramatic changes in 
structure and design, and we are looking at parallel changes in our 
organization.

The areas where we need help are in a job description and a model 
contract for our manager, as well as questions as to the ownership and 
insurance of our collection.

Our building is owned by the Town and we are checking into whether the 
physical building is insured.What is the standard practice of other 
museums regarding insurance of their collections?Do other museums 
typically insure their collections?And if so, how are such collections 
typically valued?

Any help you could give us with these matters would be greatly appreciated.

Jon Bartlett
Director, Princeton & District Museum & Archives
