<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Hello!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">My name is Deborah Scott and I teach in the museum programs at Fleming College in Peterborough, Ontario.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">During my sabbatical this year, I’m examining the subject of </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">in-depth documentation of museum collections. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Specifically, I am interested in learning more about:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<ul style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The extent of in-depth information that currently exists in collection records</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">What steps museums can take to document in-depth knowledge about their collections so that it is preserved and accessible.</span></li></ul>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">To that end, I’d very much appreciate your taking the time to complete a short survey <b>before December 18, 2015</b>. The survey can be accessed by clicking on this link: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KRLFQPB" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-family: Arial;">https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KRLFQPB</span></b></a><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">All responses will be kept confidential, and the outcome of this project - </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">a resource to help museums document their collections in ways that support sharing object
stories -</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> will focus on trends and best practices rather than individual institutions.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Thanks so much for your help!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Sincerely,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
