[BCMA] Accession / Collections Help for a Newbie

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hi,
I’m at the Atchelitz Threshermen’s Association farm museum in Chilliwack.  I am responsible for the library and for inventory.  I’m including a copy of our donation form which you could just modify.

Subject: [BCMA] Accession / Collections Help for a Newbie

Hi everyone,  

I'm newly managing education programs at a small nature facility and inherited no systems for how donations are brought in / out of the facility. At the risk of being repetitive, I have a few questions that I was hoping to get advice on: 

  1) Does anyone have a one-pager accession form that folks sign when they donate?
  2) Where do you start when building a donations policy? I'm looking for something short and concise - collections is 100% not in my position, but it just needs to be done so things stop landing on my desk or on the floor of our office without explanation. 
  3) Does anyone have any turkey vulture artefacts that we could acquire? (And if so, what advice do you have on protocols for receiving one?)

I have a couple other questions that I'd love to get some advice on, so if this is in your wheelhouse and you're willing to answer a few questions, please reach out at stephanielynn.chong at gmail.com. 


Cheers,
Stephanie
