[BCMA] Query re: collection on display

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Good morning everyone

As part of the redevelopment of the Delta Museum, I would like to inquire from everyone as to what percentage of their collection is typically on display in exhibits at any one time.

I know that not all of our collections are on display all the time for obvious reasons. In the case of Delta, the collection is weighted quite heavily towards certain aspects of community development at the expense of others, and therefore, as I am developing new exhibits I realize that what I had is not conducive the story that is planned, nor to the feel that I hope to engender. I have given a percentage of artefacts that I am planning on using in our exhibits to my supervisor, and he was wondering how that compares with other facilities.

Thank you in advance for your responses!
