Dear Colleagues:
We are wondering how other museums handle
manuscript collections that relate, either directly or indirectly, to donors
and their collections? Are they the responsibility of the registrar’s
department? the curatorial department? the library? or the archives? Do they
get a finding aid? Or are they accessioned as individual items? Are they
cataloged? or what?
Suggestions appreciated.
